Second Ward Park Planning Meeting Scheduled

The second meeting (PDF) to discuss the proposal for an off-leash area at Ward Park has been scheduled.

Tuesday May 29, 2007
7:00PM
Ann Arbor Church of Christ
2500 S Main Street

The meeting is intended to cover more details of a proposed run at this site. If successful, it will serve as the Pilot for the community dog run program.

If you are interested in seeing this proposal become a reality, this is your chance to have productive input.

If you want the city to realize any of its dog run plans, this is a good chance to make your voice heard.

At the last community meeting there was a very small but very vocal group of people who were opposed to the plan, some of whom were opposed to the idea of off-leash play areas altogether. A strong showing from people in favor of these plans will demonstrate that we are a significant and active segment of the park-using community. We also need to make our presence known to demand that action be taken quickly and the foot-dragging end. If it looks like the dog-owning community is apathetic, it is unlikely that we will have a safe and legal play area this summer.


If you can't make the meeting, consider contacting Amy Kuras (information on flyer linked above) to let her know your thoughts.
