In 2015 the city of Methuen in conjunction with the Nevin’s Memorial Library resurfaced the handicap parking area. In doing so they created a hazardous condition for people walking around their vehicles with a drop-off that has a pitch of about 15% or about a 3″ drop at this location. Concerning is the fact thsa any person parking here who has a need to either walk around their vehicle or enter their trunk will be met with this drop.
I reported this to the city as well as the local Disability Commission at that time and many times since. While the city acknowledged this problem the’ve made no attempt to correct it.
