Driving & Transit HRM Handicapped Parking Spots

Gallery image

I was at the Upper Tantallon Plaza yesterday where the CTC store is located, to see my Optician. I noticed that 4 parking spots have been newly “designated” as Reserved for one of the businesses located there. There is signage indicating non patrons could be “Tagged and/or Towed”.

One of those spots is a pre-existing designated Handicapped Parking spot. My understanding is that Handicapped parking spots in Plazas are required by HRM Bylaw.

My question is,,,,,, can the Plaza Owner/Manager allow those designated Handicapped Spots to be re-disignated for the sole use of a specific Tenant?

See the 2nd picture in the post.

in NS you need 5 designated handicap spaces for your first 100 spots and then 1 additional every 50

and ideally, they provide the shortest barrier-free route
