As Don Taco stated, there is no desire for stage access from the catwalk. The
intent is to have a relatively safe and moveable platform for
mounting/focusing instruments on the FOH electrics. A secondary advantage
would be that we could then also access the pendant auditorium lights.

It will be very difficult to brace to the floor on the HL side. The aisles are
barely wide enough to meet fire codes. Possibly the HL track could be
suspended from the ceiling.
