County closes stairs to W. Tugalo Street

Stephens County officials have closed the stairway that connects the County Annex parking lot to West Tugalo Street.

County Administrator Phyllis Ayers says the county determined the stairs were no longer up to code; and presented a risk for citizens who would be using the parking lot to attend the voting machine demonstration at the Stephens County Registrar’s Office.

If you park in the Government Annex parking lot, you’ll need to use the sidewalk in front of West Tugalo Street to access the cross-walk, either at the intersection of West Tugalo and North Alexander streets or the intersection of West Tugalo and North Sage streets, to get to the Historic Courthouse.

Again, citizens will no longer be able to use the stairs at the Government Annex parking lot to access West Tugalo Street.
