Survey: bike storage or parcel lockers in a condo building

I want to choose the parcel lockers for the empty room. I think it is very useful for everybody in our building.

Now many people buy things online, me too. When the courier comes, usually nobody is at home because we are working. Then the courier leave the box in the lobby or outside the door. Sometimes the box is lost or somebody takes it by mistake. Last month my package was missing for two days, after that I found it in the mail room. It was very stressful.

With the lockers, the packages will be safe. We can get a code and pick up our package anytime, also in the night after work. This is very convenience.

Bike storage is good also, but only some people in the building has a bike, and many of them keep it on balcony. I think lockers can help more people.

For these reasons I vote for the parcel lockers. I hope the board will agree with me.

In my opinion, the empty room should be turned into a secure bike storage. I ride my bike almost every day, and right now there is no good place to keep it in our building.

At the moment, most residents who have bikes either lock them outside or bring them up to their apartments. Locking them outside is not safe, because bikes can be stolen easily. Bringing them inside is also not ideal, because they take up a lot of space and they can make the hallways and elevators dirty. A bike room with racks and keycard access would solve both of these problems.

Parcel lockers would also be useful, because a lot of people order things online these days. However, I think that most packages are not stolen and people can usually pick them up without too much problem.

Overall, I think the bike storage is the better choice for our building, because it would help keep our bikes safe.

I vote for parcel lockers, provided the board confirms a workable delivery procedure. As a pharmacy employee on evening shifts, I need a collection arrangement that does not depend on being home during the day.

Last week, a household order seemed to have disappeared from our lobby. A neighbour had helpfully moved it behind a chair, but I only discovered that after asking several residents. The incident illustrates a coordination problem rather than evidence of theft. An assigned locker and collection code would tell me precisely where to look, while allowing pickup after my shift.

Lockers could also reduce the boxes left around the entrance. In a 120-unit building, even a few deliveries can clutter a shared route used by residents and visitors. Keeping packages in designated compartments would make that space easier to navigate.

Secure bicycle racks would be useful; I currently keep my own bike upstairs. Nevertheless, I would address deliveries first. The board should check courier access, overflow arrangements and a backup for code failures before purchasing anything. With those details settled, parcel lockers would offer a clear improvement on daily life in the building.
