BTW there are a few thoughts about the handicapp parking spots...

I am limited walk now... but I need the space to be able to park and to exit/enter my car...that's the reason I had to buy a 2 door car! Also, when I travel with my guide dog, I need the access space to get him and me both out!

I am limited walk and need a close parking space.

Sometimes they put the handicapped parking near the building, but way down at the end of the walkway... thinking everyone is in a wheelchair and is on wheels so it isn't so hard for them to wheel farther.

I do more than my share of educating even handicapped ppl as to when and how to use the spaces... many think they can park in the access spacing just because they are handicapped. NO ONE is allowed to park there. To utilize that space I often have to back into the space for it to be on the side I exit my vehicle.

I place papers that inform them they have parked illegally. I call the police when someone without handicapp rating parks there (delivery men think it's wonderful.)

Please don't support anything that limits non wheelchaired handicapped ppl... but DO make them crack down on WHO gets the privilege, and also in putting money in for ENFORCEMENT! Thanks!

ANOTHER THOUGHT Here in Florida we also have GREEN spaces for those who have children. I can't count the times I have seen grown able bodied men park there with the green placard and NO CHILD!!!!!! Handicapped can also park there... and it's counted somehow in the ratios

But that was off topic, sorry.
