A disabled E-5 went to the VA Hospital on 29 May 2025 for a right knee exam after full knee replacement due to blood leaking into the artificial joint.
He has a handicap placard on his dashboard but could not find a space with the white stripes next to it, all of those were already filled. He had to park in one and a half blue square spots. By ADA law a blue square at the entrance to a regular parking space DOES NOT make that a handicap space without the required white stripes on at least one side of the parking space.
He was given a parking ticket for $152.00. When he spoke to the issuing officer he was told, “once the ticket is issued the veteran would have to fight it out with the judge.”
Mr. President, can you stop this from happening to other disabled veterans?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
