Q1:
What were some of the reasons cited in the article why there was a need to have parking lots for women only in these buildings?
A1:
One of the reasons is to help women with young children to load and unload bulky prams more easily.The other reasons are the location of the carpark is convient and they only have to walk up the ramp to reach the entrance to the lobby. Another reason is it is less tiring for women, espically when they are in heels.Another reason is some women feel safer parking nearer to the entrance.
Q2:
(a) In your opinion, do you think it is necessary to allocate parking lots for women only? Why?
(b) Which group of people do you then feel should be allocated such priority parking? Explain.
A2:
(a) In my opinion, i think that it is not necessary to allocate parking lots for women as some times when the other car lots are full and the reserved lots for women are empty, people will also tends to park in the lot so it is very difficult for them to control who will park in the lot.
(b) I think that the priority parking should be allocated to the disabled people and the elderly drivers as the elderly may have difficulty to find parking lots if they park their car at the fifth storey, some of them do not have the energy to climb to the entrance.For the disabled people, they would not have difficulty to walk to the entrance.
