Dear Mayor of San Gabriel.. I am having a contradiction pertains to Ca penal code. “No parking in alley. I live @ 314 So Pine St. 91776. I have requested from the SGPD that they enforce the “no parking in alley way” I spoke to a Representative with the SGPD and she says I must call every time a certain delivery truck parks and obstructs the alley’s right of way.” Each and every time” Really?, Really.. I am a U.S citizen retired. I am certain that AARP would love this story. Not to mention my editorial comments with the Arcadia news paper. It’s not my job to police civil and legal parking enforcement codes..Please Enforce the law! Otherwise lawlessness will prevail. Thank you.
I’m so glad! In my opinion, he’s about the only one there that wants to and can make a difference and better our community to reflect all residents! Go Mayor Harrington!
Aren’t mayors supposed to be elected?! How was this guy just appointed without the public’s input? I live in SanGabriel and I never got a notice of a mayoral vote. Please help me understand!
