Fitchburg: ONE YEAR Later: Is the Burbank Medical Building Elevator STILL Broken?

It's been a year, and 9 months of video proof, on the state of this elevator.
Question is, does the elevator WORK this time?!

STAY TUNED! YOU MAY BE SURPRISED!

Something needs to be done for disabled with access to the other floors in that building .

@jdtayloruk

They can go around the parking lot, up the ramp on the other side, into the top floor.

That's a failure of a reason to not bother, especially if someone handicapped/disabled enters the wrong floor.

They could have decided to shut it off and replace it with a new one sooner or later.

@elevatorsonly

Not sure. You could be right.

First time here, there was a sign about Payne working on it. I've heard some modding (bad thought there) takes almost 2 years. Don't know why, but I've heard it.

@georgef551 Maybe it broke and is unfixable. Of course, they can serve handicaps on either entrance level.

[georgef551]

@elevatorsonly

True, but if they enter the wrong level, it's a long way around to the other level. Bad, hot, or cold weather makes it that much worse.

@elevatorsonly I expect better from an older Otis Lexan

Nothing but the best for Fitchburg, by U Mass Hospital.

@Balarick

I will too, if we ever get to see it.

[Balarick]

i look forward to seeing its cab. at least the door looks nice.

Goes to show how important both the public and its convenience are to those who maintain this property. Astounding.
