Controversial Dog Park Bid Vote Monday
The City Council will decide Monday whether to entertain construction bids for a new city dog park that has stirred debate on both sides.
Will the city turn six acres off Felipe Road into a new dog park?
A location just south of Gilleran Park was approved in January 2011 for a large dog area, a small dog area, a single dog area, a gravel parking lot for 42 vehicles, fencing and turf.
Now the City Council must approve a contract bidding process Monday if it plans to move the project forward.
