\"Look!
Look! A new sign. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 16th 2009, I wrote about the Parking Space that was out of order. On August 6th, 2009 I addressed the issue again. Sometime during the last 16 days the Parking Space was fixed.<\/p>\n

Not only did they replace the sign, it appears they restriped the lot and tightened down the neighboring sign.<\/p>\n

It took some time, and I gave up on the issue in fear of becoming a victim. But, it is done and I am pleased.<\/p>\n

In the 1990s as the ADA was being passed into law, it was often quoted that 20% of Americans have a significant disability. While that 20% may not be wealthy, due to lack of access to jobs and education and the cost of health care, they do spend money.<\/p>\n

This was only one sign in a huge parking lot that had seven other accessible spaces, but that one space was important to me. I wonder if business owners know how a simple, single space can effect a person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
