Post office installs push‑button door openers after Section 504 complaint, commission says
Summary
Commission members reported that owners installed push‑button power door openers at the Merrimac post office after a Section 504 complaint to the U.S. Access Board; the commission discussed public outreach to highlight the accessibility improvement.
Members of the Merrimac Commission on Disability told the panel on June 5 that owners of the town post office agreed to install push‑button power door openers following a Section 504 complaint filed with the U.S. Access Board.
"The owners agreed to install the push button power door openers and they were installed last Thursday," the minutes record. Commission members described the installation as evidence of progress on ADA compliance and said Dawn Shand is interested in developing a newspaper article to highlight the commission’s work in resolving that accessibility barrier.
The item was reported as part of the meeting’s old‑business updates; the commission did not record any further enforcement action or a formal follow‑up schedule for the post office in the minutes.
