There are currently two (2) handicap parking signs already at 2317 and 2309 <br />Roger Street. <br /> <br /> It was also noted access to your front door involves steps but there is a flat surface in the back <br />of your home with a parking pad off the alley. The Ordinance for handicapped parking space <br />signs is written for 1) a handicapped vehicle associated with a driver who has medical proof of <br />handicap recognized by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and who resides at a residence where the <br />space is being reserved and 2) that does not have a driveway that offers ease of handicapped <br />access. <br />If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact Engineering, at (574) 235- <br />9251. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />s/Linda M.
