The success of this prc;ect will gimme from education of the public to not only the letter of the law, but the spirit of the taiv as to why these ordinances exist Lnfortltnataty we are also seeing a substantial number of vehicles with disabled plates and placards bloe4ng sidewalks, some have expressed that their placard or plate exempts there of the Saw, so the support of the CFPWD is important for the greater good. While it may place some inconvenience on a few it will provide greater accessibility for the overall community. Marc Denson Parking Comed Supervisor Page 9 of 10 7. Chairperson's Report B.
