>> i guess it would be fair if it worked. >> reporter: mountain view police say it's too early to say if closing the road is working and that the one-mile stretch is a constant work in progress. what do you say when they say it's horrible? >> it's a pilot program only closed for a couple of hours and we absolutely hear their concerns and we'll go back and looking and seeing, was that the right course of action or are we going to need to go back to the drawing board and think of something else?
