Darlene Hooley Pedestrian Bridge Elevator
South Portland Neighborhood Association (SPNA) is soliciting community opinion regarding a redesign of Darlene Hooley Pedestrian Bridge Elevator doors to minimize Elevator closure due to criminal vandalism. There are 4 known and/or possible options to chose from. Please send an email noting your preference to: communications@southportlandna.org
OR
outreach@southportlandna.orgOption 1. Replace existing glass panels in Elevator Doors with bullet proof glass and/or wire mesh imbedded in glass
Option 2. Replace existing Elevator glass doors with solid metal doors
Option 3. Combine metal door with glass panels (glass panels with either bullet proof glass and/or wire mesh imbedded in glass) sufficient to let in light, let alone make interior space visible when Elevator is moving, stopping and/or opening to minimize any attempt to obscure criminal activity
Option 4. Some other option with very brief description of such
Extra glass sections- if any glass option is chosen - should be available and precut to reduce time needed to replace if damaged.
Given the importance of Elevator for individuals with disabilities, families with young children, cyclists and all others, your participation in this survey will help SPNA partner with PBOT to minimize Elevator service disruptions. Thank you.
