CIP 301-708 - Renovate Elevators in City Buildings

The City is conducting a citywide program aimed at renovating City elevators. The City elevators located in City Hall, Corporation Yard, Fire Station, and

Community Center are due for modernization that are meant to improve their performance, safety, reliability, and energy efficiency while also enhancing the overall user experience.

Due to the closure and demolition of the Recreation Center, programming was temporarily relocated to several facilities, including the Community Center. Because of this, the Community Center elevator experienced higher-than-normal usage leading to accelerated deterioration and frequent repairs. It was recommended the elevator be taken out of service after it was deemed unsafe. The City has fast-tracked the repair of the Community Center elevator. The repair is anticipated to be completed by Fall 2025.

Design for the modernization of all four elevators is anticipated to begin in Q1 2026.
