A Calgary woman says a lack of spaces at Peter Lougheed hospital has people using retail lots as a last resort, and after getting a parking ticket this week she thought there must be some way to improve the situation.
A Calgary woman says a lack of spaces at Peter Lougheed hospital has people using retail lots as a last resort, and after getting a parking ticket this week she thought there must be some way to improve the situation.
Patsy Davis has a rare disease requiring monthly appointments at Peter Lougheed but the hospital lots are often full.
“When I am driving to the Peter Lougheed, I usually add on an extra half hour just to find parking alone, and this time, we could not find any parking,” Davis said.
Tuesday she had a specialist appointment and needed her husband for support so finally he dropped her off, parked at Sunridge and raced over to join her. When he returned to the mall less than two hours later, they had a ticket.
“A parking ticket of $80 and we were both taken aback by it,” Davis said.
Sunridge has signs posted warning anyone leaving the property without their vehicle can be fined.
