THANK YOU.

BUT NOW LET'S GO BACK OUT TO THE NEAR WEST SIDE AND THE SHADOW OF THE UNITED CENTER W T TW NEWS REPORTER JOANNA HERNANDEZ HAS A LOOK AT HOW CHICAGO RESIDENTS WHO LIVE NEAR THE UNITED CENTER ARE ADJUSTING TO THIS MAJOR DISRUPTION TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

JOANNA.

IRAN IS THAT'S RIGHT.

FROM ROAD CLOSURES TO LIMITED PARKING AT SAYS THIS IS WHAT LOCAL RESIDENTS WILL HAVE TO ADJUST TO THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

WE'RE ALONG SOUTH CAROLINA AND WEST ADAMS.

THIS IS A VERY CONGESTED AREA AND WE SPOKE TO SOME LOCALS ON THEIR THOUGHTS.

TAKE A LISTEN.

I'M EXCITED JUST TO BE THERE JUST TO BE IN THE MOMENT.

YOU KNOW.

BUT BUT I AM CONCERNED.

YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY HOME STRAIGHT ALDERMAN WALTER BURNETT, SAYS HIS COMMUNITY IS NO STRANGER TO PARKING RESTRICTIONS, ESPECIALLY DURING GAME DAYS AND EVENTS.

BUT AS THE CITY'S PLANNING FOR THE DNC HAS BEEN FULL OF MOVING PARTS, WE HAVE ALL THE GAMES.

WE HAVE THE SEE PEOPLE BE OUT AND MAYBE BLOCKING TRAFFIC OR WE CAN GO DOWN SERVICE TREES AND WE GET USED TO THAT.

WE ADAPT TO THAT.

WE OKAY WITH THAT.

BUT NOBODY STOP US FROM PARKING IN FRONT OF HOUSE.

US AS DNC WEEK KICKS OFF.

ALDERMEN.

BURNETT SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN SOME FRUSTRATIONS WITH UNWARRANTED PARKING RESTRICTIONS LEADING UP TO TODAY.

WHAT HAS BEEN WORKING TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THEY WANT EVERYBODY TO BE SAFE.

WE WORKED WITH THE PEOPLE WHO WILL HAVE THEIR PARKING RESTRICTED.

ONE OF THOSE RESIDENCES.

JAY HUNT.

HE LIVES AT THE HENRY HORNER ANNEX NEXT TO THE UNITED CENTER.

WE GOT BIG SHOTS WHO ON THE FILM LAW.

THE BUILDING IS WITHIN THE PEDESTRIAN RESTRICTED PERIMETER.

HUNT SAYS HE HAS LIVED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND IS USED TO TRAFFIC AND ROAD CLOSURES.

WE'LL BE PARKING ACROSS THE STREET SO THAT WILL HELP.

THOSE UP BECAUSE THIS WAS PARKING.

PARK LAST GUESTS WILL GET CHECKED WE DO.

WELCOME TO THE BUILDING.

DESPITE CONCERNS OVER RESTRICTED ACCESS POINTS, PARKING AND TRAFFIC, LONGTIME RESIDENTS AND OR GREEN SAYS THE CONVENTION IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCALS TO EXPERIENCE A MOMENT IN HISTORY.

WE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW, SO THE KEY IS CAN SEE THINGS.

YOU KNOW, IMPORTANT FOR THE KEY IS UNDERSTAND.

I KNOW VOTING IMPORTANT VOTING.
