In a recent letter to the editor, Valerie Chang voiced a persistent problem of the Blaisdell ever since it was built (“Why no elevator at Blaisdell Center?” Star-Advertiser, Dec. 27).
I had reservations for balcony seats at the concert hall a decade ago for a Honolulu Symphony performance. With no elevator, my companion who had a breathing problem used the stairs, and we were the last to leave the building.
Mr. Mayor, I second Ms. Chang‘s request to you. We must be approaching the 50th anniversary of the Blaisdell. Shouldn’t something be done by now?
