Lots of 90 degree turns on this alternate route, is this a feasible alternate route (resulting in no delay as your analysis shows) or would fire trucks be limited to just May and Maywood Sts., resulting in the delays your analysis shows.Eric K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02782135664063890616noreply@blogger.com
