New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
This is a serious problem on Collette Street below Acushnet Avenue. I’ve called the police but nothing gets done. There are 60 apartments (God knows how many people living in this small section of the city) there is no possible way the fire fighters can connect a water hose if the hydrant is completely blocked. It’s cars, pickup, and SUV’s. If there is a fire, these people are putting tenants lives at risk. No time for a tow truck. They need to be towed immediately to prevent fatalities. We’ve already experience 2 major fires and one house explosion which need this hydrant. Please enforce immediate towing of these violators before disaster hits. They have no right to put so many people’s lives at risk. This is daily and they park overnight. This truck is the one currently parked there. Please tow. If something happens, this city is looking at a major lawsuit.

The second pic was yesterday afternoon.
The truck was parked overnight. This truck and others do this almost everyday and overnight. Apparently the city cares more about parking meters than the safety of the residents.
