Denver Westwood Blogs reports the Denver Colorado “city is recruiting citizens interested in ticketing those able-bodied but ass-lazy drivers who park in handicapped zones.”
We could use that here. We’ve seen hale and hearty teenagers parking in accessible parking zones. One day at the Zellers Mall, two Aliant service trucks parked in the disabled zones while the service men went inside for something or other.
The story goes on to say “Denver uses volunteers to try to keep those parking spaces free for those who need them. The volunteers take eighteen hours of classes and operate in pairs for safety.
The program has been around for fifteen years, and it seems like a better idea now than ever. After all, the most notorious bit of parking enforcement in town in recent memory occurred when a rather feisty, unofficial volunteer decided to confront a federal judge about his hoggish habits.”
After that, we could get the “lazy-ass” PEI Council of Persons with Disabilities to actually work on the problem of accessible parking. Other than collect fees, no one has seen them working on the problem for a decade.
