Reserved Parking

111413

There’s just not that much going on in town. But if you’ve got a handicapped parking permit, you can at least count on being able to park right in front of this vacant building.

That’s pretty helpful, I guess.

(Don’t get me wrong: when I take my dad places, I have a handicapped parking permit. You’d be surprised, though, at the number of times that we can’t use it, because the designated handicapped spaces are already full. Also, the Americans with Disabilities Act requires tactile surfaces on ramps; these are usually truncated cones cast in the concrete. I understand why they help visually impaired persons know they are on a ramp. But for 90-year-old men with walkers, these tactile surfaces are virtually impassable, and are quite annoying. In case you were wondering my opinion on the matter.)

  1. Your dad needs a walker with tracks, from the sounds of it.

    • Some of the residents where he lives have these really fancy walkers with shock absorbers and a cargo basket and a seat. Oh, and handbrakes. Handbrakes! His walker is one step up from the entry level (his has nylon skids on the back legs, which is an upgrade from tennis balls.)
