View from the Clock Tower is AMAZING!
The Santa Barbara Courthouse clock tower has reopened after making improvements for those with mobility challenges.
Santa Barbara County held a small ceremony earlier today with an inaugural elevator ride for the reopening of the clock tower now that access improvements are complete.
Up until this month's reopening, the 40-year old tower elevator stopped short of the observation tower landing. A short series of steps had to be climbed to reach the top level, making sweeping vistas inaccessible to people with mobility challenges.
The elevator modernization project was paid for by a combination of federal stimulus dollars and bond money for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance work.
Now the panoramic views from the historic observation deck are accessible to everyone.
