So what rules are being enforced ? If the town has "altered" the docks since the passing of the ADA then it's required to bring the docks into compliance. Alternately they may just be trying to being as reasonably compliant as they can (even if not req'd by law) and it would be nice to know what the rules are. It was asked how many slips are "handicapped" and what length are they. Well this chart says how many must be "accessible" per the ADA but is Wolfeboro making their own rules ?
I note that the 2'nd reference (below) uses 40' as the length of a slip in determining the number of slips above but is that also the length of each reserved slip ? (guess we got a lot of diasbled GFBL'ers in town).
Lastly, and most importantly (IMO), what's Wolfeboro's rule regarding usage of Wolfeboro's reserved slips. Are they following the ADA guidelines which state ...
"Accessible boat slips do not need to be marked and are not reserved in the same way as accessible vehicle parking spaces. For example, facilities should hold the accessible slips open for persons with disabilities until all other slips are filled. At that point, the slip may be made available for general use."
Or are they handing out tickets to any "able" person who uses the reserved slips no matter what the fullness of the town docks is ? So who's making what rules ?
