Letter: Ivar Kronick Is Clear Choice for Pittsfield's Ward 2

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

I am writing this to give my unqualified support to the candidacy of C. Ivar Kronick for the position of city councilor in Ward 2.

Mr. Kronick has been running a personal campaign by visiting residents of our neighborhood (Dalton Avenue area), thus making himself directly available to his potential constituents. It has been many years since I recall a candidate knocking on doors and answering questions, one on one, and in person.

This personal touch conveys a message that he will remain immediately available to the electorate. His campaign position flyer provides a clear, unambiguous description of his platform. His views on important issues are that of an independent-minded person, not rigidly beholden to a one-party ideology. I firmly believe the residents of Pittsfield, Ward 2, will be well served by electing Mr. Kronick.

Mark White
Dalton Avenue, Pittsfield, Mass.

Dalton Town Hall Lift Solutions in Development

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Solutions are being sought for the lift in Town Hall that has been out of service since December because of safety concerns. 
 
Building Grounds Superintendent Jeff Burch told the Americans with Disabilities Act Committee meeting on Tuesday night that Hill Engineering has been contracted to come up with a potential option.
 
The lift is in the police station and the only other lift for the town hall is in the library, which is not accessible after library hours. 
 
Previous attempts by Garaventa Lift to repair it have been unsuccessful. 
 
Replacing it in the same location is not an option because the new weight limit requirement went from 400 pounds to 650 pounds. Determining whether the current railings can hold 650 pounds is outside the scope of Garaventa's services to the town. 
 
The first option Hill has proposed is to install a vertical lift in a storage closet to the left of the police entrance, which would go up into the town account's office. 
 
A member of the committee expressed concern that the current office location may not be suitable as it could hinder access to the police station during construction.
