I want to love this proposal so much, but oh my god, the building floor plans are so bad. I'm not an architect, but these decisions don't feel intuitive to me. Am I missing something?
Why have two driveways coming into the front of the building, instead of just combining the parking and loading spaces? There's only 14 parking spots, so I don't think it needs to be segregated.
Why do you need to take an elevator to get your bike in and out of the building, especially when this is supposed to be seen as a selling feature? 414 bikes and only two elevators. So if you live on the 20th floor, you'd need to get off at the 7th floor just to grab your bike, then request the elevator a second time just to get out of the building. I can't imagine the queues in the mornings, especially if one of the elevators are out of service.
Why does someone who lives on the 2nd-8th floors need to walk all the way around the bike parking just to get to the elevators from their apartments?
edit: I just remembered that Weber doesn't even have bike lanes here! If the city approves this building, I seriously hope they have the foresight to put in a multi-use trail or something, too.
