Apparently miffed that the photo of her car blocking the bike lanes and the public sidewalk abutting her home near the corner of Anacua and Retama streets during this Sunday's Historic Marathon, a defiant Rose Gowen this morning continues to flaunt her power to exempt herself from the law.In fact, this time the car is parked against the traffic.
Neighbors near her home on 155 Anacua say that even after it was pointed out in social media that she had refused to remove the car during the marathon, she continues to park it on the sidewalk and blocking the bike lines that she champions so much.
"This is such an arrogant act by a supposed public servant," emailed a neighbor who requested to be anonymous. "Apparently, she thinks that she is a city commissioner the laws don't apply to her."
Anyone passing close to the house can plainly see that there is ample parking space inside the gates of her home that is empty of cars. Why she doesn't use it to remove the car from the public sidewalk and bike lanes appears to be a decision she has taken to thumb her nose at the public.
"I've seen cops give out tickets in the barrio for people parking on the wrong side against traffic," said the commenter. "What makes her so different?"
