Newsflash – Important Notice Regarding Bicycles and Common Area
We would like to kindly but urgently remind you that parking bicycles inside the building (neither in common areas nor inside the studios) is not allowed.
Bicycles can be parked on the square opposite the building or at the bike parking near the church.
Why?
- Fire safety: Bicycles block emergency exits and escape routes.
- Accessibility for people with reduced mobility: Bicycles are an obstacle for wheelchair users and less mobile residents.
- Damage to common areas: Maneuvering and parking bicycles inside causes scratches and damage.
- Equal treatment: Making an exception for one person would mean that all 25 residents could do the same, which is simply impossible.
Recently, a bicycle was placed directly in front of the entrance of the ground-floor apartment number 1 at the back of the building, preventing the resident from entering or leaving. Please keep in mind that this is a home and the door must remain clear at all times.
That being said, we understand that the ongoing renovation works may cause inconvenience and confusion. We are doing everything we can to complete the works as quickly as possible and to minimize disturbance, but this is an unavoidable process we all have to go through together.
We count on your cooperation to avoid placing waste, bicycles, or other items in the common areas, so as not to increase the inconvenience for other residents and co-owners.
Did you know that there are several bicycle parking facilities in Leuven? More information can be found here:
