Caption: 97th Street viewed from Wheatfield Ave.

A chain-link fence spans across a quiet residential street, blocking access. Attached to the fence is a yellow traffic sign with double arrows pointing left and right, along with several diamond-shaped warning markers. A sidewalk and grass run along both sides of the road, and a few single-story houses and trees are visible in the background under a blue sky with scattered clouds. Utility poles and wires line the street.
