B.H.;

Glendale does in fact have a clearly designated area of handicap dock (see below). It is in the same location as the lift. The poles are clearly marked with Handicap signs and no one parks there without a placard. FYI...I have never seen any boat park there.

I haven't been paying attention to the docks, but I can remember at one time the lift was at the end of the dock open to the public. It looks like they moved it toward the Marine Patrol area. I was not aware of this.

You would have to be a real fool to park in THAT Glendale space without a placard.

That space is reserved for Handicapped MP Officers.

OR: It's intended to be used for removing Injured Handicapped persons from an MP Boat returning from a Island or Boating rescue mission. (Maybe that person weighs 600 pounds.)

Otherwise a Stokes stretcher would be used to transport an injured victim. No need for a crane
