[StBernard] Removal of Vehicles

[Westley Annis]

Craig:
 
Our neighborhood has five automobiles on the neutral grounds, and in the
preceding block there are at least three more just sitting there.   I don't
know what the parish ordinance was before the storm, but I assume that it
involved posting a notice on the vehicle and after a certain period of time,
having it towed.  Is it possible to reinstate the program so that these
vehicles can be removed?  
 
I notice that these vehicles are starting to be vandalized (for example,
breaking the windows resulting in glass in the street), and few have any
indication as to their status.  By posting the notice I would assume that
the owner, if he/she has to leave it there for insurance puposes, they could
remove the sticker and paint "do not tow" on the windshield. 
 
If we can move some of these vehicles, the clean-up crews can easily remove
the debris around them.
 
Thanks for your continued assistance, and congrats on the birth of your new
son.

Mr. Richardson,

Unfortunately, if the vehicles are on public property, we can not do
anything at this time.  Pre-Katrina, we were the only tow service authorized
by the parish government to pick up abandoned vehicles on public
right-of-ways.  Since the storm, we have not gained authorization by the
government to remove vehicles that are on public property.  To date, we are
only removing vehicles that are on private property, and then only with the
property owner signing an affidavit giving us authorization to do so.  We
are still waiting on the state to set a plan into motion allowing the public
right-of-ways to be cleared.  If there is anything we can do to help the
residents, we are trying our best to meet those needs, at little or no cost
to them.  If you need more information, you can email me at
raisinman1020 at hotmail.com, or call Paul at (504) 271-9396.  Good luck, and
take care.
