What are the rules about accessible parking spots on my street?

Commission on Disabilities
USING THE SPOT - Disabled parking spaces are not owned by specific vehicles or properties. Unless the street is posted as 'Resident Only', any vehicle with a HP Plate or Placard may use the handicap parking spot. - Vehicles parked in a disabled parking space still much follow street cleaning schedules, snow emergencies, and other parking restrictions. Vehicles cannot be abandon in an accessible parking spot (parking for more than 72 hours). - ELIGIBILITY AND RENEWAL - You must renew the accessible parking spot every year. If you dont renew your parking spot, we will remove it. - You need to tell us if there is a change in your disability, address, or eligibility. If you are no longer eligible for the spot, we will remove it. OTHER RESTRICTIONS - Accessible parking signs are the property of the City. You cant install or remove signs, or paint the curb or poles to mark off a spot. - If you try to change the signs or paint on the street, or misuse the parking spot in any way, we will immediately remove the signs. - This program isnt governed by any federal or state laws. It's managed by the Disabilities Commission and the Traffic Department. Only the Traffic Commission has the right to approve or deny any applications.
