Elevate me later
As you undoubtedly know, Seattle is building a genuine, electrified, bonafied, six car monorail -- from West Seattle to Ballard. In order to save money, consultants are suggesting scrapping plans to build escalators from the street to the elevated stations, using only elevators instead.
Considering the Americans with Disabilities Act, I suppose you'd have to build elevators anyway. Add to that the fact that New Yorkers and Chicagoans have used regular old stairs (which would still be built) to access elevated stations for nearly a century with a minimum of grumbling. Heck, those health-crazed Northwesterners might even like the added hike.
