Council to extend public hearing on dog park proposal

Friday, May 23, 2014

The city council will extend a public hearing regarding plans to build a dog park in the city's north side in hopes of gathering additional public testimony on the project.

During a meeting last month, the four-member council introduced a proposal to designate an area near the community garden off North 3rd East Street.

If approved, the city is expected to install a fence around the area to allow dog owners to let their canines run without having to worry about them leaving the area.

My recommendation to one of the councilman was to build it next to the new animal shelter. I also think the idea to have a separate small dog area is a good one.

The staff of the shelter could help maintain the area and their volunteer dog walkers would not have to be in traffic.
