Neither Simple, nor Intelligent parking system for disabled drivers.
So, you park, get into your wheelchair, wheel yourself 100m to the building where the scanner is (inside the Medical Centre), scan your badge, wheel yourself 100m back to the car, return the badge, wheel yourself 100m back to the Medical Centre for your appointment.
Could it be ANY more disabled unfriendly?

@cachondo definitely sorry not my intent at all - apologies if it came across that way.
I'm neurodivergent and can struggle with communications at times. I'm working on it - so thanks for the feedback 
@cachondo - all good!
BTW I didn't write any of the discussion post titles if those are what you are concerned with, but I can share this feedback with my colleague who did.
I know they didn't intend to offend either, but will also appreciate the feedback from the larger community.

Today in Labor History May 13, 1985: The city of Philadelphia bombed the house of the radical black activist group MOVE. The police dropped a bomb made with C-4 explosives from a helicopter over the African American residential neighborhood. When survivors tried to flee, the cops shot at them. As a result, eleven MOVE members died, including five children. Furthermore, the bomb and fires destroyed sixty-two others homes in the neighborhood. Consequently, 250 Philadelphians became homeless. Adding insult to injury, the bones of some of the victims were transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where professors used them to teach courses on forensic evidence.
MOVE was a black liberation environmental movement. Many surviving MOVE members were still in prison as late as 2020. Mumia Abu Jamal, who was an associate of MOVE, is still in prison on trumped up charges of killing a cop. He is currently severely ill with diabetes and heart disease. The government has bombed civilians from the air several other times in history. The first was during the Tulsa anti-black pogrom of 1921. They also aerially bombed striking Appalachian miners that same year.
