New Hampshire Parking garage stairway enclosures - MS-23-0058 - City of Lawrence

The stair towers in the New Hampshire parking garage are exposed to outside weather. As a result the subsequent snow/ice removal and application of deicing materials have caused the concrete stairs to deteriorate and the metal railings to corrode leading to premature failure. An analysis of all three parking structures was completed in 2017 and the consulting firm identified the stairs as a major rehabilitation effort. Since the 2017 analysis the deterioration has increased by 50%. Rust on the railings and failing metal have been replaced or ground and repainted every year since the 2017 study. The stairs and railings continue to deteriorate and will require annual maintenance to keep them safe for public use. This project is included in the city's FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program. As of October 18, 2022, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
