Send us the gate code or have someone meet the truck if your street is the gated one, and tell us whether the condo parkade clears a 26-ft truck, because most do not; the playground lot at 160 Discovery Ridge Boulevard and the Griffith Woods trailheads fill on sunny weekends, so weekday moves are easier.
