We have an issue at the Regina Hill Residence (apartment building) at 2415 E 5th Street, on the northbound side, with vehicle parking and our loading of wheelchairs. We have two newer passengers using our buses who use wheelchairs and loading them is an issue when cars are parked between our shelter and the driveway in front of the apartment building. Cas are parking where the grease spot is on the asphalt in the picture below. Between the bus shelter and the driveway. Would it be possible to have that area marked No Parking from the bus shelter back to the driveway so our buses could get squared up with the curb to load the wheelchairs and not have their tail end blocking traffic while doing so. Th buses front door needs to be lined up with the sidewalk next to the shelter to board the wheelchair. One of the passengers uses a manual wheelchair that doesn’t move easily thru the grass, etc. Thank you for anything you can do.
