It's just at the juncture of where Oval meets Kuzik. The point of the question is, should you have an event that closes off Oval close to Eagle Rock Avenue what is your proposed access for the residents of the Highlands and The Grande and this new development to exit to get to the center of town to get out of our development? THE WITNESS: There's no specific proposal, other than that situation being properly managed for repair situation of such nature and the residents will have the ability to have emergency vehicles get to the site based upon the emergency accesses provided. You know, traffic is maintained in those events and in various ways. It depends on what it is, it depends on where it is in the road. There are ways in a 40 foot cartway to keep roadways open to traffic. THE PUBLIC: But the hypothetical is, if it's closed for hours and let's say there happens to be a fire in one of those apartment buildings on the proposed development? THE WITNESS: Under that hypothetical the community may be inconvenienced for that period of time. It's possible.
