Councilor reports delays installing wheelchair lift at 41 Strong Ave.
Summary
Councilor Dunst said most of the lift at 41 Strong Ave. is built and wired, but custom mounting brackets failed twice; a third fabrication is underway to meet safety and state inspection requirements.
Councilor Dunst reported progress and remaining delays on a custom wheelchair lift at 41 Strong Ave., saying the lift itself has been largely built and wired but mounting brackets for the three-sided enclosure have failed fabrication twice.
Dunst read an email from the building owner and said the project’s complexity stems from attachment requirements to brick and the enclosure configuration. He said the company has ordered a third set of custom brackets to address safety and stability concerns and that meeting state inspection requirements remains the top priority. Dunst corrected an earlier statement that the lift was complete and asked for patience as the team works through the last fabrication steps.
No formal action was taken; the update was informational and the commission thanked Dunst for the report.
