STATUS: The responsible office has offered a limited remedy with an end date for review. The current rule remains in force at the Upper Chamber of Measures.

RECORD: The public works docket and the surveyor’s marked elevation sheets. This file counts 20 permit applications; the prior count was 17.

DISPUTE: The proposed alignment shortens the climb for upper homes but leaves less turning room for freight carriers.

WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns whether a new public stair can pass through a shared landing without closing the older route. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.

NEXT: A second survey must test the turning radius with loaded handcarts. The clerk has marked the file STAIR-PERMIT-17 for the next public review.
