Gonna make this public to draw attention to the issue.
SEE UPDATE they fixed it.
On October 19th 2011 I emailed all the contacts at the Griffin Properties website regarding Nassau Bay Town Square. I think I had a very legitimate concern, but not one of the people I emailed responded in the least. I'm going to start being a jerk and hash tagging them to this post elsewhere. Then I may eventually picket or something, because my concern is legitimate, simple to fix, shouldn't be an issue, and above all they ignored me.
I've got a question about your Nassau Bay Town Square property.
Your property is located right across the street from a major
employer, the Johnson Space Center, next to a large apartment complex
which I believe may be owned by your firm as well, and an older
neighborhood of single family homes. On NASA Parkway there is a
designated dedicated bicycle lane.
I want to know why your brand new beautiful upper end property in a
trendy and upwardly mobile area on a bicycle route doesn't have a
single bicycle rack on it, especially when bike use in the area is on
the upswing, due in no small part to NASA actively encouraging it.
I love going to Bullritos for lunch when I'm either on the day or
evening shift at the space center and I often take one of my bikes.
Not only do you not have bicycle racks, all of the light poles on your
property have a very thick and rough concrete base that's about three
feet high. This necessitates my lock going around the pole high off
the ground, not passing through parts of my bike that it should and
scratching the heck out of the frame.
Space is not at a premium at this location, there's a nice big area in
front of the bank, plenty of wide sidewalks, and even a large grassy
area near the corner or near the sidewalk, as well as an area "behind"
the building that would work. Racks are not expensive, I've often
seen purpose made ones for under $100 and it's an opportunity to put
some iron art work on your site if you talk to a college art
department with functional artwork in mind.
Thank you for reading my rant/request, I wish you the best.
I hit reply to all, sent it to the again with this attached:
I've received nothing, no acknowledgement what-so-ever I sent my original email.
I'm going to start getting noisy about this.

That's nothing, but it will expand. Eventually I'm going to start picketing on the road side with signs saying you hate bikers and filthy bikers go elsewhere.
Perhaps if you had the human decency to respond in the slightest I would treat you with decency also.
Honestly, these things don't cost much, it will draw customers, especially if someone puts in a coffee shop, though the burrito joint is almost good enough as is.

If you do decide to respond, but it's with some sort of bullshit safety, liability, whatever cop-out that isn't real but is designed to get rid of me I'll get louder faster, and get more people involved.
