Stair Gate

[mark handler]

That would not be the accessible egress path ... most likely addressed by elevators....

Does not meet many access codes

Vertical post would be no less accessible than it is now; I think the issue at hand is to provide an alternative barrier so that people do not have to jump over the railing.

Why and where is that required in the code?

They don't want you jumping the barricade

People do not have to jump over the railing now, they choose to jump over the railing. Take the barrier up to the ceiling and the jumping will end.

Lighten up!

In existing buildings the vertical post concept can provide and alternate means to interrupt and direct flow to the level of exit discharge yet allow passage to the lower level should the gate swing interfere. And the post do not need to reach the ceiling; I would approve 36 inches AFF.
