Brenda,
As a follow up to your and Jim's e-mails. Many buidlings do have them, but
many only have one or two. For instance 1000 W Washington which has over
250 units has two, 3660 Lake Shore Drive which has over 20 floors has 4.
Considering our building only has 100 units one really should be more than
enough.
If we do get them, one per floor just isnt feasible, practical or really
necessary.
In my experience they are very helpful, but a few things typically happen.
1. People have a tendancy to use them then level them outside their unit or
in their elevator lobby
2. People have a tendancy to leave them outside / exposed to the elements
and ruin them
That said it is a GREAT idea and I would definitely support the purchase of
a cart. With that in mind we will need everyone to be a good citizen and
make sure they are being considerate when they use it and return it so
others can use it when needed.
Just a thought.
