Handicap docking spaces for boats

[MJM]

Can someone provide an email address where an inquiry can be sent regarding this? Town Manager? Harbor Master? I'm not even sure who to contact!

I just spoke with Dave Owen, the Town Manager of Wolfeboro and got some clarification and gave him some feedback. From what I understand, the town was trying to do the right thing by supplying handicap boaters with dock access; there are several islanders, which are handicapped that use the Wolfeboro town docks. The State Disability Commission chose which dock should be designated to have the handicap access sign. I explained that the sign was very confusing and he understands it should be made to be clearer.

Basically at this point anyone can dock anywhere. He did say that we should leave a space for a truly handicap person. I brought up the idea that designating some spots closer to land or the parking lot for someone with a disability might be better than the dock they chose, making it very clear which spots those are. At this point, if you are handicap, this sign really doesn’t help you. You will have to wait just like the rest of us for a spot that would be best for you. There are no “official” handicap permits. So far anyway and there will be no tickets given out to violators at this time.

I've gotta agree with Cal on this one. It seems to me that the new handicap docking spaces will only make a bad situation at the town docks worse. Who is responsible for enforcing the new Handicapped docking spaces... Marine patrol? Town of Wolfeboro parking fairies? Do they ever bother enforcing the existing time limits for docking?

Next time I'm there I am parking in these spaces.
