PANEL RECOMMENDS DOWNTOWN PARKING CHANGES Responding to reports that up to half of downtown meters are occupied by nonpaying vehicles driven by people with disabilities, an advisory committee has recommended major changes in the city's parking policies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that they should make the changes... although I believe that there are a number of vehicle owners that abuse those disability placards by parking with the placards when they are not really disabled. I've seen some people that show no disabilities at all get in or out of cars with those placards showing, start their cars, remove the placards and then proceed to drive away. I know that parking enforcement is limited in staffing and that there is not much that they could do, but it just steams me that there are people that are willing to take advantage of something like this...
