In Phoenix, Arizona, I hear, all handicapped parking spaces are required to be VAN ACCESSIBLE -- 3 feet wider. It seems that cars are parking in the few van spaces, so the van owners lobbyied that all spaces be van size. The down side is that 10 car spaces will be reduced to 7 van spaces -- perhaps reducing the number of hadicapped spaces. The advisor to our governor's council on developmental disabilities is against the vans' imposing their needs on society. Too high a social cost, she says. 0===================================================================0 | @..@ A.J.
