For a car parking lot 10% of all spaces should be designated for handicapped parking and their is never enough because they hand out placards to anyone now a days!

I agree that handicap parking is a must. However, Wolfeboro went overboard designating a whole side of a dock to handicap boaters. I can't recall the last time I saw a handicap boater at the town docks. Plus, there is no way to get a wheelchair off that dock into a boat. There is a guy who is a real zealot about handicap rights in Wolfeboro and he spearheaded this effort. Again, I am fully supportive of handicap folks and I would be the first to give up my spot to someone in need but the allocation of a whole side of a dock that doesn't get used for weeks is stupid.
