I'm talking about that too, and, yes, you can "park" there if you're handicapped for whatever reason and the other spot is taken. It's specifically designed for people who need wider access to get out of the car. It's called the GORE area, and, given the design of this area, I wouldn't suggest staying there long term because it blocks the most direct access to the handicapped accessible sidewalk, but you are certainly allowed to pull up and get out there.
