  1. WHY are we making it easier to have dogs in our densely populated neighborhood??
    Even when (if, that is) owners clean up solid waste, sidewalks are full of dog urine. (As I was exiting my building the other day, i accidentally stepped into a pool of urine on the sidewalk right outside the door. When I said something to the dog owner as she walked away, she replied that she “had not noticed.”
    It’s time to disallow dogs who defecate or urinate in public spaces.

    1. Jane – Hope you can make it to the NEWRA meeting this Thursday night so you can ask questions and hear about the many reasons why a dog park is beneficial to any urban neighborhood, especially densely populated ones like our beloved North End.
