Dog Blog : Update on the proposed fenced dog park

Dog Blog

The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're huskies, and Lucy, a sweet Chessie. R.I.P., Rusty. Contact mlewis@adn.com

Update on the proposed fenced dog park

Chris Constant has been busy. Since we last touched bases, he's managed to see to the completion of a site plan for the proposed fenced, unleashed dog park at Earl and Muriel King Park and obtain a resolution of nonobjection from the Fairview Community Council.

I've attached PDFs of the site plan and the resolution. Check them out. Also, here's what Constant needs to move forward:

The South Addition Community Council is scheduled to discuss the issue at its March 18 and April 15 meetings. Constant is looking for people who live in the area (see map) and support the project. If you do, contact Constant at 258-3328 or constant@alaska.net.

Here's some history on the proposal.

* ADN story on Constant's efforts.

* Past discussion on the Dog Blog

And feel free to comment here after looking at the site plan.
