Attachments A lawsuit has been filed against Rehoboth Beach claiming the civil rights of the plaintiffs have been violated because the city doesn’t provide them the accessible parking needed to have reasonable access to the shops and restaurants on Rehoboth Avenue. City commissioners have scheduled a special meeting for Monday, May 10, to conduct a strategy session on the issue. In a case filed April 12 in U.S. District Court, plaintiffs Brigitte Hancharick, Ilse Payne and Robert Payne claim the city does not provide sufficient accessible public street parking on Rehoboth Avenue and the blocks abutting it, thereby harming the plaintiffs and other people with disabilities by denying and excluding them from a public service in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hancharick is 33 years old and lives with her parents. Her primary mode of transportation is a ramp-equipped van owned by her parents. The Paynes are a married couple – Ilse is 87, Robert is 89 – and they use a car as their primary form of transportation.
