At the East Village location, we have introduced consensus grading through feedback cards that are up for the first week that a boulder problem is on the wall. On these cards you can indicate 1) how hard you think the problem is, and 2) how much you liked the problem by giving it a Star, a check mark, or an X. This means that problems are not graded for the first week, and are given a grade after climbers have had the chance to vote and setters have had a chance to watch climbers on the problem.
Would you like to see consensus grading on roped routes as well?
(Required.)
Definitely would (consensus grading for all routes, bouldering and roped)
Probably would not (continue consensus grading on boulders, but not roped routes)
Definitely would not (no consensus grading, put grades on everything right away)
Other (please specify)

At the East Village location, we have beta tested a "Boulder of the Week" which we are planning on continuing as a regular occurrence. We are considering using this as an opportunity to expose climbers to different types of climbing and different rules that you may see in competitions or gyms around the world. (i.e. World Cup rules, USA Climbing rules, etc.) Describe your interest in using the Boulder of the Week in this way.
(Required.)
Extremely interested (try different rules/styles etc. and do this in Grimes too!)
Very interested (try different rules/styles etc. but keep this in the East Village)
Somewhat interested (do this at both gyms, but keep the rules the same each week)
Not so interested (keep it in the East Village, keep the rules the same each week)
Not at all interested (get rid of the boulder of the week entirely)
