SUV towed from Queen Street Lifeguard Parking

This Jeep was removed from a lifeguard parking space on Queen Street Saturday afternoon. The police officer expressed concern over the radio regarding the space which he indicated was poorly marked. He said the LIFEGUARD PARKING ONLY sign appears over the first space with arrows pointing downward. But there is no dividing line to correspond with an arrow for what would be a second space.
