Security

Building security is the responsibility of all residents at LIDO – the building is everyone’s home. Please ensure that all doors are closed securely and locked behind you when leaving or arriving. The parkade door provides security to the parkade, as well as to the residences.

The main front door, common area doors, and elevators are accessed using a key fob. As a back-up, or in the event of an electrical outage, you should always carry a common area key with you. If you lose a key fob or common area key please contact Emerald Management to report the lost fob and to purchase a new one.

The entrance to the parkade is located on the east side of LIDO along the back lane. The back lane can be reached from 2nd Avenue or Memorial Drive. The first entrance door is for the City of Calgary public parkade and will lift automatically as you drive up. Carefully drive through the first floor of public parking and you will find a secured gate at the entrance to the second level. Button 2 on your parking fob will open the gate and it will close automatically. Always wait for the parkade door to close before driving off- This is the best defence at preventing intruders!

Parking

Please be considerate and park straightly in your stall to maximize the space you and your neighbours have between cars.

You own your parking stall and are entitled to report any vehicles parked illegally in your stall. Please contact the Calgary Parking Authority 403.537.7000 to have the vehicle ticketed or towed.

Parking stalls may only be rented or sold to other LIDO residents.

Moving In/Out

You must book the elevator to move in or out of the building, and also for moving large items such as furniture. Please contact Emerald Management to reserve the elevator. There is an associated fee to book the elevator. This will allow for:

2. The elevator to be reserved and locked off,
3. Elevator pads to be put up to protect the elevator,

Elevators
