Default Handicap docking

This subject was discussed when the disabled section was first marked. I recall that a certain individual complained about town offices/buildings not being handicap accessible. In order to satisfy that individual it was agreed to designate handicap space at the town docks.

I also recall researching this and the ADA/Americans with disabilities act states that in hotels/motels if there are rooms accessible for the disabled and all other rooms not accessible for disabled are booked then rooms accessible for disabled can be booked by any one not disabled. This would also apply to the docks and ADA Act supersedes all town ordinances or state laws as ADA Act is federal. So if that is true then if all other spaces are taken then someone not disabled can use the space designated for the disabled.
