She made the following points: There is room for a single shower on the basement floor. Based on previous discussions, the size of the Fix-It Shop has been increased. There was discussion about the room’s dimensions, the configuration of work tables, the two means of egress, the possibility of coordinating space for both the current Senior Center Fix-It Shop and a new bicycle shop, and the use of tools; tools used in the Fix-It Shop were purchased with funds from the Friends of the Council on Aging and donations. It was suggested that the Bicycle Advisory Committee be consulted about their needs. It was also suggested that if it is possible to break through the cement wall that separates the current Fix-It Shop location and the limited access areas in the mansion’s basement, it may be possible to construct a ramp that would improve access and thus expand the usable space in the basement.
