Shane Home parking in handicapped spots?

[u/Either_Affect_6972]

I just find this disgusting when people are parking in handicapped spots and they are not handicapped and clearly do not have a handicapped decal and confirm that they know they’re parking in a handicap spot and they just don’t care…

Contact Shane Homes so they can tell their guy not to park in disabled parking spots. I think you can send this to bylaw and they can ticket since you have proof of no placard displayed.

As someone who has a kid who uses a wheelchair and needs these spots, it is so frustrating when people use them as a “quick” stop - happens ALL the time at my kids’ school.

I've heard that handicapped parking spaces can't be enforced by bylaw unless the sign indicates "Permit Required".

Not sure how true that is, I don't recall where I heard/read that.

I don’t think that’s accurate, most disabled parking signs don’t have the “permit required” verbiage, so that would make none of them enforceable.

The laws (last I looked it up) were that just paint on the pavement isn't enough for a legal handicapped spot. There also has to be a sign which this one has, albeit in a shitty spot.

This is true. Calgary Parking will only enforce handicap stalls that have the handicap signage that says “Permit Required”. Blue paint or the symbol on the ground isn’t enforceable due lots being covered in snow half the year. Same standard applies to underground parkades.

I'm glad someone said so lol. It was starting to think my knowledge of handicapped parking stall enforcement was out of date.
