The motor to the outside handicap door has died. We're so sorry for the inconvenience. We hope it is fixed "soon," but a new motor will have to be located, ordered and installed before that happens. You can still enter through the city building, take the elevator down and then come up the ramp. Otherwise, you'll have to use the "non-handicap" door.
