i'm sorry but I think handicapped parking is an issue meant to distract us from serious issues. My wheelchair will make it from a non handicapped parking place. I get pissd when my chair cant climb the so called curb cuts. When I'm asked to sit by the kitchen because they don't have a place for a wheelchair in by the entertainment. Places are grandfathered in to avoid having any facilities. Access buss systems that work. I see nobody respecting handicapped parking. not even cops. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 3:09 AM Subject: [QUAD-L] Handicap Parking in the USA
Well, The only thing that will make the general public change their ways and not park in the handicap spaces is to hit them in the pocket book. Telling people, begging, pleading, will not change people...THEY KNOW THEY ARE DOING WRONG.... We need local police to step up and ticket these violators and make them pay 200.00 a pop every time they are caught. Also, more spaces would help... I guessto do that one would have to go to city meeting with pictures, signatures, and explain the needs to the city board. Another problem we disabled face is we dont stick together, each disabled individual finds a way to park themselves or get by....we dont unite and fight this problem as a whole. We need to look at how african americans have fought and won their battles throughout the years......numbers....numbers...unite....unite. One handicap person alone is looked at as a problem individual, but 30 together , something will change... I guarantee you that much.....
