ACtually Lea we started before you moved her
Katy shultz in 1996
and 2500 dog owners went to town
and provided 5-6-7 places to put dogs
And one or two awful members of the Parks Commission shot most of them down
We got the waterfront park moved back so there was NO water access….it was originally to be with the small pier and beach) and Oakledge etc were taken off the list
leaving only Apple Tree Point to care for all dogs.
No handicap access for waterfront.
Our ideas were supported 100% by City Council, but they refused to override the commissioners.
Both were still on when we fought the disc gold fiasco.
Mayer Kiss got two of the bad people OUT.
Leaving one more ON.
And since then I have been, as Lea has, on may committees.
However they have put in a real dog beach area, now right at the south end of the beach going towards Burlington
And then there is some sort of “parK” with exercise spaces. (very outdated thinking)
That has messed up all the rest of the area
Bull dozers are having a field day moving around dirt
Trees are gone.
The natural feel is gone.
ugh
And who was invited to participate in this mess???
All funded by the waterfront TIF with the skate park.
ACtually the place is blocked off now.
