2030-met ferry. Spoke with Island resident. She expressed her frustration at the limited number of handicapped parking spaces available. She was hoping that we could speak with other Islanders parking in Handicapped spots that didn't appear to be handicapped. She states that they have a handicap placard, but she believes several of the placards being used may possibly belong to family members who are off Island. I explained that if someone has a valid placard visible, I cannot confront them on their handicapped status and demand proof of a disability. We will continue to monitor the parking lot and ticket appropriately.
