The elevator at City Hall is being replaced. It will be out of service for approximately ten weeks. We are searching for volunteers willing to donate their time to attend to the City Hall visitors that can’t negotiate the stairs. The hours involved would be 8-5, M-F. They can volunteer for however many hours they’d like, as many days as they’d like. The work would involve directing people to the different offices and if they can’t use the stairs, contacting that specific office to have someone come down to help the visitor.
Please contact Colleen Moran, Human Relations Manager/City ADA Coordinator at 367-8745 if you are interested or know of anyone we should contact who’d be interested.

Let me see if I have this right. A $39.00 an hour city employee is asking me if I want to do her job for nothing? Gee….where do I sign up for that one?
Perhaps the employees who have so much time on their hands that they can host numourus city link shows in addition to doing their regular jobs can volunteer for this.
10 weeks??????????? It takes 10 weeks to fix the elevator?? They need to move their offices all to the first floor.
Scott, thanks for the cartoon…an elevator in exchange for the infamous river greenway’s steps that lead directly into the Sioux River.
I was at the Park Board meeting when Jon Jacobsen of Confluence presented his plan for the steps into the river, and the only person that spoke up was a brand-new board member. It was Mark Millage’s very first meeting and he raised safety concerns about these steps. Everyone blew him off….
Now, my question is…who is going to be the first one to fall in to the river!!??
Under normal circumstances, the river moves at 5 to 6 knots in this area…and, it is only a very short distance to the falls. A potential tragedy in the making…
Every time that I hear someone compare this to San Antonio (and the Mayor, De Knutson, and Mike Sullivan are three of the biggest culprits) I have to shake my head…because GUESS WHAT San Antonio’s River Walk is MAN MADE…it is not a living, breathing, polluted river like ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is also in SAN ANTONIO! I don’t see a lot of outdoor river dining in the middle of the winter in SF. This project was planned around building the EC at Cherapa. If that does not happen there is no reason to have a plaza and bridge in that location. Wilde Sage at Cherapa already has a beautiful patio that overlooks the river, and the other night when I was down there a jazz group was playing on the patio. Apparently we don’t need all of this other stuff to attract people to that area.
