Need an Accessible Parking Space Near Home? Alexandria Could Make It Easier to Apply
Council takes up a proposal November 10 to simplify applications and renewals for accessible residential street parking.
Alexandria residents who need a disability parking space on their block could face a simpler application and renewal process under a proposal headed to City Council on November 10.
The measure appears on the agenda under “Parking Meters,” but the staff memo says it concerns the process for requesting and recertifying disability parking spaces on residential streets. City staff says it has received complaints that the current procedure is cumbersome and asks residents for more information than the city needs to make a decision.
The proposed ordinance has its first reading November 10. Staff recommends a public hearing and final consideration November 14. The proposal is separate from the Planning Commission’s recent work on off-street parking requirements for residential development.
Residents can review the Council calendar for hearing information.
