The suggestion to come to a board meeting and explain and/or vent a problem is one way of communicating the needs its members. I was at the June meeting and expressed a congestion problem with the bikes etc and the need for labels above each hook. I was told it was already being looked into and new hooks will be installed asap. We are still waiting. This unusual amount of time to get estimates and have simple unit number plates installed does not give one a great deal of confidence in this process.
