The University of New Mexico holds many events for the public at large. Plays, concerts, traveling Broadway shows, etc.
The parking garage has a vehicle entrance that is level with the street. One drives straight in and down to the lower level, or up to the higher levels. Which is fine, I guess.
But that design puts the walking exits either up or down stairs to the outside. Anyone using a walker or any kind of wheelchair has to use a tiny little elevator to get out of the building.
That’s fine too, I guess, if one doesn’t mind waiting for the little hamsters to run in their little wheel-cages long enough to raise the elevator to any given floor. It only takes about eight or ten minutes for the little critters to get it there.
So, what would happen if there were a special event for older folks, all with such devices?
Two or three at a time in the elevator at eight or ten minutes a trip would take about three hours to get a couple dozen out wouldn’t it?
Wouldn’t the show be over by then?
