There are 2x24" grab bars at Noisebridge but they are too short for
the ADA requirements that I looked up (we need a 36" back and a 42"
for the right side.

I got them from Lowe's back in May and I can't get back there easily
now. The local plumbing store might stock some grab bars of the right
length, and the shorter ones can go into the original bathroom.

The first floor elevator line up is over 6" off if the  elevator is
called more than once.   This is a huge liability for everyone using
the elevator, and should be prioritized for repair.
