Handicap Parking
The Issue
I live in an townhouse in Reading, MI that only has a public parking lot. There are only 2 handicap spots in the LOT and the one remotely even close to my door is reserved for the public library only. My son is 7, severe Autistic he knows no danger. I struggle everyday as he runs acrossed the parking lot. Im also a single mother and have a 4 year old daughter as well so I only have 2 hands! We have 2 Medical Marijuana facilities and a Bar amongst other businesses that share our parking lot and sometimes I have waited 45 minutes to get a spot remotely close to my door. I can't just drop him at the door with our stuff and park down the way. They are discrimating as they said the buildings are not handicap accessible so they won't make spots. Sorry but he doesn't need a wheelchair or walker or Cane so does that not make him disabled? They just repaved and painted last week. I'm going to the city hall meeting next Tuesday to hopefully get something done. Any help is appreciated! Again the only spot that's remotely close that is handicapped is reserved! I will be towed if I park there.
Child safety, discrimination against a disability.
I am attending the city council meeting next Tuesday and will present a speech and hopefully signatures as well.
