The Suburban

The Suburban has been told by Mandevco, owner of Quartier Cavendish, that it will make changes to its exit door near the IGA supermarket following a complaint that it was locked at night.

A text message was sent to CSL Mayor Mitchell Brownstein, by a visitor who had seen a movie at the CineStarz theatre. Brownstein says he and the city never received such a message, and that he was first hearing of this issue from The Suburban.

The texter not only says that the doors near IGA were locked, but did not have an “emergency exit push bar.” “Had there been a fire, we would have all perished,” the text says. “Very not cool.”

Despite there being some emergency exits on that side of the mall, They were not well identified and could be impossible to reach depending on the situation.

When The Suburban received a copy of the text, it contacted Mandevco.

Mandevco has now told The Suburban that it agreed to look into the issue after it was brought to its attention and has ordered parts to create a safety bar for the exit near the IGA, so that it could become an emergency exit. n
