Everyone,

     I am trying to get a rough idea of which directions the cameras will
be looking from the poles.  The way I understand it is that we have a
total of 4 fixed cameras and 3 PTZ cameras.  Given four locations,
there are about 16 (I believe) different configurations for the still
cameras assuming the can be mounted to look either right or left.  
Also, I would like to know if possible which three poles we plan on
mounting the PTZ cameras.  I have found the rough distances between
the poles if it helps:

Intersection of 93 to pole B4 (B4 to edge of viewing area): 637 feet
B4 pole to edge of Jervey: 462 feet
Jervey to A1 light pole: 367 feet
A1 pole to C36 pole: 711 feet
C36 pole to edge of viewing area: 416 feet

*I think I mentioned this before, but there are some trees that will
obstruct the C36 pole's viewing area

I have attached a very elementary drawing of the general idea of the poles
for reference if this helps.  If decisions have been made, please let me
know which poles have which cameras, and in the case of fixed, which
direction they are pointing (give me another pole or the edge of viewing
area as a reference).

                            Thanks,
                             Matt
