Resident urges township to add handicap parking at Dingle House entrance
Summary
A West Chester resident told trustees there is no accessible parking near the Dingle House entrance, asking the township to consider curb cuts or a ramp to improve access for disabled patrons and visitors.
During the citizen comment period, resident Joel Herzog asked the board to consider creating handicap‑accessible parking near the Dingle House entrance on Main Street, saying the building currently lacks nearby accessible spots and customers must walk a considerable distance from street parking.
Herzog said he observed a woman using a tri‑cane and noted that existing 15‑minute carry‑out spaces on the street are insufficient for patrons with mobility limitations. He said management of the Dingle House had asked him to raise the matter with the township and suggested a curb cut or ramp on the side of the building to provide nearer access.
Herzog noted that parking demand has increased with nearby apartment openings and asked the board to consider the change to help disabled citizens and support the local business. No formal action or staff direction on the request is recorded in the transcript.
