When snow moves in, so do parking bans. But some New Bedford residents couldn’t find another place to park their cars, which meant several streets went completely uncleared.
In a video taken by New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell, a group of people could be seen assisting a pregnant neighbor who’s due to give birth in a few days after she wasn’t able to relocate her car in time for plows to come through.
“There was so much snow that we couldn’t really do much, but the tow trucks were so generous that they moved her out to an area where they weren’t going to take it and move it to a place where she can have her car and not get fined for it, which was a blessing,” said Jose Medeiros, one of the neighbors who helped out.
Not everyone who violated the parking ban was so lucky, however. So many cars were parked on Reynolds Street that plows couldn’t get through until around 11 p.m. on Sunday, neighbors told 12 News.
