STATUS: The affected crew has tried the revised procedure under ordinary working conditions. The current rule remains in force at the east cliff lift between the quarry road and the upper wards.
RECORD: The lift’s rope-change log and its passenger closure notices. This file counts 51 completed lift runs; the prior count was 51.
DISPUTE: A full closure is safer and shorter; a staged closure preserves access but leaves less time for a second inspection.
WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns how to keep the lift available to residents while its main rope is replaced. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.
NEXT: The lift office will post a day-by-day access plan with the rope crew’s sign-off. The clerk has marked the file CLIFFSIDE-LIFT-02 for the next public review.
