Council supports
move to coordinate

disability

THE CITY of North Van-
couver has come out in
favor of comprehensive pro-
‘vincial guidelines to improve
parking access for people
with disabilities.

North Vancouver City Council
voted, August 4, to support the
Lc. Coalition of People With
Disabilities in its efforts to replace
(fe fragmented parking policy
system in’ place across the pro-

. vince,

“Whatever we can do to assist
people with disabilities should be a
priority,” said Coun. Stella Jo
Dean.

According to North Shore Ad-
visory. Committee on Disability
Issues’ chairperson Pam Horton,
provincial legislation enacted in
1991 has fallen short of providing
people with disabilities the guar-
anteed ‘tight of access to parking.

“Unfortunately, the legislation
didn’t have a whole lot of guts to
it,’’ she said.

Although she believes that
North Vancouver City has a fairly
good record of enforcing its
parking bylaws to support people
with disabilities, there are still
“many abuses, particularly in shop-

. ping mall parking lots.

“It’s very confusing; who can

enforce — where you can. en-
- force,’ said Horton.

Municipal . parking checkers
have: a mandate to patrol street
and municipal parking areas, but

the responsibility for grocery store
lots and parking on private prop-
erty remains a grey area:

Each raunicipality. has the re-
sponsibility of .writing and enfor-
cing its own regulations regarding
parking for people with
disabilities.

While many subscribe to a
.parking permit system issued
through the Social Planning and

NOATH VANCOUVER
CITY COUNCIL

by Maureen Curtis

Researchs Council (SPARC), there
are often discrepancies.

“People sce people using the

permits and question their rights
to have them,” Horton said.

The fines for abuse af the
special parking spots differ be-
tween municipalities, and" often
are not high enough to be a
deterrent, Horton said.

“It’s very frustrating to see the
abuses,”’ she said.

Many smal!’ communities lack
sufficient parking spots designated
for drivers with disabilities.

In May, 1992, five of the 18
Greater “Vancouver. Regional
District (GYRD) municipalities,
had no-bylaws concerning parking
for people with disabilities at all.

In a paper which is being sub-
mitted to the Ministry of the At-
torney General and Ministry of
Municipal Affairs, the B.C.
Coalition of. People with
Disabilities is asking for legislation
that would require municipalities
to designate spaces for disabled
permit holders at public parking
areas and in private parking
spaces in commercial! and multi-
family dwellings -—- and then en-
force the violations.

As some communities lack a
body to screen and issue permits,
the B.C. Coalition wants the pro-
vincial government to designate a
single centralized registry.

Funding for an education cam-
paign to raise public awareness re-
garding rights to disabled parking
access is also recommended.

Horton said she hopes that all
three North Shore councils will
endorse the recommendations
made to the provincial govern-
ment.
