Some organizations that utilize the library space for meetings would be negatively impacted by these earlier closures. Volunteers who have full time jobs cannot make meetings either earlier start times.
Could you share a link to the data your referring too. I did not see one in the article and it would be of value for other residents to independently review.
As for the gate count I can see the point on that being out of the budget. I wonder is just a old school turnstyle counter could be implemented. They would have to manually count disabled folks who could not utilized the counter but that could be easily done by the folks at the front desk.
Or maybe a AI tool could be implemented that could use the security footage to independently count individuals.
