On-Street Handicapped Parking Downtown

There is another relevant factor here. Most parking garages and surface lots have very few spaces for van parking. So even if I want to pay for private parking, which i would gladly do, there may be no spaces available. This is even, maddeningly, more of an issue im parking garages for area hospitals. I have gone from the bottom to the top and back to the bottom again looking unsuccessfully for a parking space. All the while, passing occasional regular parking spaces. Now ai have a minivan with a ramp extendable out the side. My previous van was a full size with a raised roof. I couldn’t even enter the hospital parking garages! But I frequently needed to park there as a patient. So I match the parking cynicism of the handicap parking doubters but from the other extreme.
