The Levytator

This seems like a very practical solution for many adaptive reuse building projects when the building owner requires or desires increased accessibility for end users without compromising the architectural or cultural values of the original structure. The logistics of disembarking may prove challenging for some, especially since it differs so greatly from the experience of escalators of which we are so accustomed, and one can worry about crowding in the potentially dangerous staging area. The principle reminds me somewhat of funicular railways.
