I’m an owner in a unit block of 30 apartments. The lock-up garage areas are separated on either side of the building with 2 driveways for either side: garages 1 – 5 squeezed together on one side of the building (one of which is on title to my unit).

The driveway is extremely steep and narrow, with a bit of “garden” (I use the term loosely to describe what amounts to a few plants) creating awkward angles that make it impossible to drive a car (even a small car) up or down without scraping the bottom of it on the cracked and uneven concrete driveway, or do any manoeuvres to either reverse/drive in to my garage.

The other side of the building has the lock up garages for the rest of the building with its own driveway, again very steep but with ample space at the back of the building to turn your car around and park however you want in the garage.

I’m stuck having to park on the street, which is restricted 2 hour parking. Not great. The other owners for the units with garages on my side all have the same problem, either parking on the street or renting a second car space somewhere else.

I’m wondering would we have a case to ask the executive committee to redesign the driveway given its poor design to begin with and remove offending “garden” beds to make more space for us to park our cars in our garages. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
