easement & private street rights

[fiend420]

i live at the end of a private culdesac. my neighbor owns the easement between our props. i have lived here for 32 yrs i inherited it almost 5yrs ago. our tenants & i have used the easement open and notoriously and consistantly since 1963. our neighbor has recently put up an electric gate across his drive with no permits, also a 10ft barrier across the easement, blocking the sidewalk and part of our driveway. also because of the private st. he threatens to tow anyone away who parks in front of his prop. does he have the right to block the easement & put up barriers on it? if not, how do we deal w/this? can we park on st? what to do if towed? is there a statute of limitations on the time i have to take action?

What kind of easement? Is it on title? And what jurisdiction is this?
