Problem 1 ・ Question 1 / 3

Attention all Riverside Metro passengers: Please be advised that beginning Monday, March 3, the Green Line will operate on a reduced schedule due to scheduled track maintenance between Harborview and Central stations. During this period, trains will run every 20 minutes instead of the usual 10-minute intervals. To minimize disruption, a free shuttle bus service will connect the affected stations, departing from the main entrance of each station every 15 minutes. Passengers are strongly encouraged to allow an extra 30 minutes for their journey. The maintenance work is expected to be completed by March 21, after which normal service will resume. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to improve the reliability of our network.

Problem 2 ・ Question 1 / 3

Notice to All Building Tenants: Elevator Modernization Project We are pleased to announce that Maplewood Office Tower will begin a comprehensive elevator modernization project on Tuesday, April 8. This upgrade will enhance the speed, safety, and energy efficiency of all passenger elevators. The work will be carried out in phases so that at least two elevators remain in operation at all times. However, tenants may experience longer than usual wait times, particularly during peak morning and evening hours. We recommend using the stairwells for travel between adjacent floors whenever possible. The freight elevator will remain fully available for deliveries throughout the project. Each phase is expected to last approximately three weeks, with the entire project scheduled for completion by the end of July. Building management will post weekly progress updates in the lobby. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the management office at extension 400. We thank you for your cooperation.
