2225. Go ahead, 2225. The second one will be at Kennedy and Hillendale on the city side of Kennedy. Not as large. Cars can still drive over it, but it is starting to also open up. Kennedy and what? Hillendale. Okay.

Okay. I was just flagged down. Apparently, there's a second one farther down Kennedy towards Golden Hollow. I'll check my box. Okay. 2110, copy all this?

2225. Go ahead. You can update the address to 5841 Kennedy Avenue. Okay. Public works, exercise. We just got off the phone with them. Well, we didn't, but 311 did. They said they do not have an ETA, but the ESR is responding. I don't know who that is. Copy. The hole is quite literally in the 67 feet deep. Okay, 67 feet deep and with? With about 5 feet.
