Hi all,
Canvassing the membership for some thoughts on how we use the loading bay, specifically occupying it for longer periods. Sometimes members will park in the loading bay, or use it for projects, and I think that’s fine, I’ve done it myself. What’s caught me out a few times, and what I think can get a bit frustrating, is when you need to load/unload something, and the loading bay is indefinitely blocked.
I had an idea for a 15-minute guideline, which I thought I’d spitball to the membership. I am NOT making a policy proposal, nor am I thinking of, or calling out, anyone in particular.
What I had in mind was, simply, if your vehicle is in the loading bay, another member should be able to have the bay cleared for loading or unloading within 15 minutes. That doesn’t mean your vehicle can’t stay longer, or that you can’t occupy the loading bay for projects, it just means you need to be able to be reached, and able to move the vehicle, within 15 minutes, upon another member’s request.
What do folks think? Is that a reasonable idea?
