Hi Stacy, i'll tell you what helps me with my parking, I picked up two small orange cones at home depot and carry them in my van and when I go anywhere I take up two spots the one for my van then i'll roll out and set the cones up at the front of the spot next to me so no one pulls next to my van so far no problems and the cones are only couple bucks and really light so give it a shot see how it works.

Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Move your car please...again
I've been going to the wound care center at the hospital where the parking is crzy bad. I often take two spots if I can find them or one way on the end and have gotten blocked in 3 times in two weeks. It sucks to ask strangers to back my van out for me. I left not nice letters on their cars but like its going to make a difference. I just now keep tape in my car leaving a note to please not block me in.

Dave O'Connell9401 W. Thunderbird Rd. Suite 200 5101 West Beryl AvePeoria Arizona 85381 Glendale 85302To Whom it may concern,I drive a van with handicapped plates and a ramp which unloads from the right side of my vehicle. This ramp requires about eight feet of space on that side to allow room for me to maneuver my electric wheelchair in and out of my van. I'm relatively independent in my travels until someone parks beside me and blocks access to my ramp. I usually find all designated handicapped spots up front taken whenever I go anywhere and I don't really mind rolling in from the far end of the parking lot. I park crooked way out at the end to m! ake sure no one can block me out and I find that usually works, although not always.I'm thinking the handicapped license plates or the hand controls easily viewable through the window would give your parking lot attendants a clue that I need extra room to enter and exit my vehicle. If those clues don't help, then the missing driver's seat or the ramp up against the sliding door might help them figure out I need extra room.I find it admirable you are vigorously policing your lots for violations but if you could sprinkle a little common sense in with your enthusiasm, possibly those of us who need the extra room can take two spots out at the end of your lot where few people park anyway without getting cited with a violation.Perhaps you could mark off a few extra wide spots way out at the end of your lots for those of us who need extra room? The extra space will need a bright yellow post that will physically block someone from parking there as there are those who park on yellow hashed areas anyway because "they just don't need the extra room." (yes, that really happens too.)Regards,Dave O'Connell

My Mom found the owner of the car under a hair dryer, OK, so her hairdresser backed the car so I could get up the ramp THEN moved it back to the EXACT spot and block me again. I had to explain to the hairdresser to "just leave the car backed up enough for me to go up and down the ramp" Duhh
