Do I deserve a $30 ticket for Blocking Driveway? Here Is a picture of where my car was parked on Turner Rd. Ron had an appt. at the Cancer Clinic. When we arrived, there were 8 cars waiting to get into the clinic parking lot. We drove around the front of Windsor Regional Hospital-Met campus. There was a sign-Full but a staff member flagged me to pull in and moved the sign over. I got my ticket but the arm wouldn't go up. I hurried over to the pay booth and was told to go back to my car and he would send someone as it was stuck again. I suggested to Ron that he should go on ahead through the hospital so he wouldn't be late while I parked the car. Shortly a security guard told me I had to move. They had closed the lot for security reasons as some cars were parked incorrectly. I then circled around for 15 minutes looking for a space to park. I am late and I have Ron's injection with me so I hurried to the clinic (4 blocks). When we returned to our car, we found the $30 ticket. I had a Cancer Clinic Parking Permit on my dashboard so they knew the vehicle belonged to a cancer patient. I submitted a review form with pictures to the Parking Enforcement. They sent me an email reducing my fine to $27 and extended my deadline 9 more days.
Patients and caregivers do not need this stress and frustration!
