Ability New Brunswick wants cities and towns to increase the fines for people parking in disabled spots.
It would like to see the fine go to $172.50, according to CBC. Right now the fine in Saint John is $30.
Executive Director Haley Flaro says the misuse of accessible parking spaces is becoming more of a problem…people are missing appointments because they can’t find a spot due to people without the proper permits parking in the accesible spaces…and there are also safety issues.
