LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Posted on 14 February 2013 by LeslieM

Dear Editor:

In response to your Jan. 31 Letters To The Editor, regarding Handicapped Parking Permits, John Daniels states that Boca Raton charges people with handicapped decals to park in their cities. This is untrue. I was in Mizner Park in Boca Raton and based on what he said, I saw a meter maid and asked if I was allowed to park for no charge with my handicapped permit. She said I could for 4 hours.

Daniels, instead, refers to a handicapped decal. I have a permit that I hang on my rear view mirror.

Please update this so that handicapped persons reading this will be informed.

Dear Editor:

In response to John Daniels’ letter on Jan. 31 about handicapped permit holders parking for free at meters, the reason people with a disablity get to park for free is that they may not be able to reach the meter.

It’s not based on their income. The state law says that someone with a permit can park for free up to 4 hours at a meter…
