Great idea....that would also keep our kids and grandkids from wanting to visit us and go to the squares . . .

If someone needs to drop off ADA folks, drop them off, go park, and when ready come back and pick them up. Cars would be allowed standing only, just to pcik up and drop off.
I agree totally with this.......and we even have a person who is in a wheelchair....we just park behind the buildings in the parking lot. Also, most "golf cart" communities have special parking for the carts only at grocery stores, etc. Not here, the carts just double up in the regular parking places, including the handicapped accessible parking.....

My mom is so funny, she always has to make a comment (not too pleasant) about people who bring their dogs to the square. Personally, when I get a dog, I am going to bring it AND my mom to the squares.....that'll be a hoot!

Default Walk as much as possible

We prefer to park away from square, grocery store or restaurant whether we are in car or cart whenever we visit. We use every opportunity to walk as much as possible as often as possible. We will all be using Hoveround Mobility Scooters soon enough anyway. Leave the spots on the square for those who need them. Exercise!
