I’m not saying they’d oppose more handicap spots but generally speaking they’re wary of fewer spots.

What better than to be known as the #1 place for walkability& biking, aging in place, and being ADA friendly?

(As far as the “political” part goes- Reducing regular parking spaces for such a meaningful reason sure seems like a gift on a platter if the City’s wanting to do it anyway!)
