Letter: Lines marking handicapped space are there for a reason


Published: July 30, 2008

To the editor:

Regarding the Saturday, July 26, story headlined, "Man cited for parking on hash marks":

I wonder why Mr. Dragonas would park in a handicapped parking space? If he is a doctor, shouldn't he know better?

Most people know that any space with lines through it is not a legal parking spot. As an employee of Super Sub, I can tell you that at no time did anyone tell Mr. Dragonas, or anyone else, that it was OK to park in that spot. We routinely tell our customers that they cannot park in that spot, when we notice they are there.

Mr. Dragonas should have known better, and be mature enough to pay the fine that was issued to him.
