Yesterday in the blog, I wrote about the dog park and
I
got
it
wrong.
Specifically, I wrote:
Dog Park: The money for the dog park planning was approved. It will cost about $35,000 to create the plans, then another $120,000 to $200,000 to build a dog park. The commission voted to move ahead.
My view: Just put up a fence, call it an open space and let the damn dogs run. Also, the dog park proponents mostly weren't there.
What I Got Wrong: Shortly afterwards it was brought to my attention that the proposed space for the dog park has flooding issues, is not accessible for handicapped or older people, and could actually hurt the dogs and their owners if not properly planned.
The first step, getting the plan, is the key and that's what the commission was voting on. Once we have that, the dog park can start and that should be very soon.
I should have paid better attention and now I'm updating my view:
My view: Plan it right and get it going. Also, dog park proponents - start showing up.
