Handicap Parking
A resident who desires a handicapped parking
space in front of or near their home may submit a request to the Transportation
Division for consideration by the Transportation Board at its next available meeting.
Every request must be in writing, specifying the location of the parking space, and
accompanied by:
- A copy of a valid Massachusetts Disabled Persons Parking
Identification Placard. To apply for a placard, contact: Massachusetts
Registry of Motor Vehicles - Medical Affairs.
- A copy of a valid driver's license or vehicle registration
indicating the residence location of the party requesting the handicap parking space.
The Transportation Division will notify applicants and
neighborhood when the Handicap Parking Space request is to be considered by the
Transportation Board. If the Transportation Board approves the request the signage
designating the curbside handicap parking space will be installed by the DPW Highway
Department in approximately one month. There is a 21 day appeal period for all
Transportation Board decisions. Appeals can be filed with the Board of Selectman's
office to review the Transportation Board's decision.
Applicants for a handicapped parking space are reminded
that:
|
1. Any handicapped parking space created is
available for use by any vehicle
displaying a valid handicap license plate or placard. |
|
2. Overnight parking in a handicap space is
not allowed. |
