Dear FIDOS Members,
As the off leash user group is being squeezed out of more and more areas and
then being told that there are too many of us at what areas are left (watch
for information on Parleys/Tanner-big trouble there), it is apparent that
the solution is to provide more off leash space. Salt Lake County is
currently working on a new master plan for Big Cottonwood Park - a huge
green space running all the way from Holladay City down to 900 E. It
includes equestrian space, ballfields, pavilions, jogging paths, etc. What
it doesn't include is even a discussion of space for off leash dogs. And it
most likely wont - unless we make our voices heard.
Attend this meeting and tell your public officials that you are just plain
tired of being chased out of space, that you are just plain tired of being
treated like second (or third) class citizens and that your need for space
to recreate with your dog off leash is being ignored. Salt Lake County has
control of most of the large green spaces in the valley, they absolutely
NEED to stop ignoring us. Right now the County offers off leash space at
only one place - Millcreek Canyon and only half of the time. Our user group
is large - and growing - we deserve consideration when these determinations
are made. To completely ignore our user group in the planning of this large
park is very short-sighted and demeaning.
MARK THESE MEETING TIMES DOWN AND ATTEND ONE - LET THEM KNOW WE ARE TIRED OF
BEING IGNORED!!!
