So the only way this can be monitored is up to the individuals to follow it up ......so to all of us who rely on these parking spaces being available keep asking the business owners to do something about monitoring the spaces..... for those who think there is NO HARM IN PARKING without the legal tags ......DON'T DO IT!!!!
