Suffolk needs free parking for handicapped

Published 2:09 pm Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Now that election time is just around the corner for some city officials, perhaps they should address the issue of handicap parking.

I feel that handicapped individuals should not have to worry about timed parking. I have seen many handicapped people leaving the doctor’s office to move their cars. Once they return, they are winded, and this could cause an elevated blood pressure reading.

I am also referring to the city parking lot on E. Washington Street. Other cities in Hampton Roads have unlimited parking for their handicapped residents.
