In his letter to the Board, Mr. Hurst indicated that he had a vascular condition which limits the distance he can walk and, since he lived across the street from Studebaker School and the Urban League Office was on the corner of High and Dubail, on many occasions he was not able to park his car in front of his home.

DENY REQUEST OF SOUTH BEND MEDICAL FOUNDATION FOR REMOVAL OF HANDICAPPED PARKING Mr. Leszczynski stated that the Medical Foundation had, on January 19, 1981, submitted a letter requesting the removal of the handicapped parking area in front of its facility at 531 North Main Street.
