Better Late than Never

No, nothing to do with the strike bu the civic center now has automatic doors.  Seems one of the staff noticed a quadriplegic trying to get one of the power assist doors opened and decided to see if they could be adapted to open automatically rather than at the push of a button.  Turns out all the wiring and sensors to make them automatic had been installed when the doors were put in fifteen years ago , just never hooked up.  An hour's worth of work by an electrician and presto, magic doors.  The civic center staff admits to  feeling amused when they see the looks on peoples' faces when the doors open without the push of a button.
