After waiting months for an automatic door button to be installed on the front door of his apartment building, an Ottawa man says it's finally happening.
After waiting months for an automatic door button to be installed on the front door of his apartment building, an Ottawa man says it's finally happening.
"I feel the story is what made it happen, because you don't wait six months and all that," said David Humphries.
CTV News first aired his story nearly two weeks ago, after he showed us how difficult it was to get through the front door of his Minto apartment building.
Humphries has limited mobility and a little more than a year ago started using a walker.
"Almost once a week, I would start to lose my balance and get scared that I was going to crack my head open or hit my head on the door," he said.
He reached out to the building's owner to install an automatic door button in October. But he says he didn't hear anything until after we aired his story.
That's when he saw an e-mail saying it was all just a misunderstanding and the automatic button is now being installed.
