Actually, what would be most helpful would be signs at Broom and Blair,
indicating the elevator down. Those are the points at which commuters
can actually use the information to select an alternate route. Imagine a
road being torn up in the middle of a several-mile stretch between two
roads, and a "Road Closed" sign only at the point the road is torn up,
and no signs at the intersections at either end of that stretch of road.
That's about how useful the sign on the door is.
IOW, MT staff have to think of the elevator as a road.

Arthur,
Could you please instruct the management to post a temporary sign with an
abbreviated version of what you just summed up in your email along with a
more permanent sign with information of whom to contact in the future in
case someone finds the elevator out-of-order.
Thank you.

I contacted Monona Terrace. Other work there led to water getting into
the elevator shaft which destroyed a circuit board that operates the
elevator. The earliest a new circuit board can arrive is early next week.
Monona Terrace is working with the supplier to get this expedited.

Subject: [Bikies] What's happening with the Monona Terrace bike elevator
Does anybody know if the bike elevator is expected to be back in service
in the foreseeable future? I knew there was a planned outage for repairs on
Tuesday, and I planned my route accordingly. But yesterday and today I came
to the elevator and saw the Out of Order sign and had to take a detour to
get to work.
I can survive without the elevator, but it would be helpful to know its
status before I get on my bike so I can choose my route. Are status reports
posted anywhere?
