I propose that an additional space be marked off next to every handicapped space. This space would be marked with its own special sign: a large green dollar sign. Only people with huge, expensive cars with vanity plates would be allowed to park in these spaces. Others would be towed. The new spaces would also be made wider than normal ones, in deference to the valuable car doors and the owner's driving skills. With a scheme such as this we can accomodate the needs of both the physically and mentally handicapped. Charlie Evett
