Le bâtiment de la capitale de l'État du Connecticut confronté aux problèmes de VT

Le Capitole de l'État du Connecticut a connu des pannes dans ses ascenseurs et ses escaliers mécaniques au cours des dernières semaines de la session législative, et le prix estimé pour remplacer le transport vertical (VT) pourrait dépasser 10 millions de dollars américains, a déclaré le New Haven Registre reports. Additionally, the escalators to the first floor are too narrow to meet Americans with Disability Act requirements. "As with any almost-40-year-old building, our elevators, escalators and travelator are all approaching their end of life," James Tamburro, executive director of the Office of Legislative Management, said, adding that they have tried to stay on top of the repairs and are working with a consultant to determine the cost to fix them. His office asked in March for US$8 million for repairs in the capital budget that would take effect on July 1.
