Review of Vancouver Convention Centre

As a person that delivers to the Convention Center...

As a person that delivers to the Convention Center I am discusseded with the loading arrangements. The elevators into the West Convention Center are located directly in from of and slightly east of loading bays 1 and 2. Loading bays 1 and 2 have hydrolic dock plates the next one is bay 7. Bays 1 and 2 are reserved 24 hrs for internal food services to deliver cooked food from the EAST Convention Center, a block away. When there are no events happening requiring cooked food bay 2 is used by the food services manager to park his personal car. This leaves delivery personel to lift a manual dock plate into place that requires 2 or more people to manuver, I drive alone and there is no one working the loading docks to help. I have also had to deliver when bays 3 through 7 are being used all day for parking of personal cars leaving me to manuver the delivery goods half a football field to the elevators. Why would they not have the empty bays 20 onwards used by the extended personal parkers. This is a venue that puts on events and they can't co-ordinate how to facilitate the loading and unloading of items required for the events to be successful. Would I recommend using the WEST Convention Center. NO. Who wants trucked in cooked food?
