Boston City Councilor John Fitzgerald proposes extending handicap parking privileges to pregnant women in their third trimester and for six months after giving birth, due to mobility issues and medical conditions faced by pregnant women. The proposal doesn't require adding more handicap spots but has been referred to a council committee for further discussion. Similar policies exist in Illinois and Texas.
