Of interest to Providence residents: June 19th (today) is the last day to submit comments on the plans for Dexter Training Ground, where a dog park has been proposed. The Parks Department has put up a page on the Providence city website with the two proposed options and the schedule for reviewing the public's comments. It's very helpful to residents when towns and cities make this extra effort to inform and involve the public in making decisions that literally affect people where they live. The problem is knowing what's happening in enough time to participate. Here is an excerpt from the Parks Department's Dexter Training Ground webpage:
- To comment today, use the on-line comment form.
- June 26, 2007 Preferred option selected after a review of the public comment.
- June 28, 4:30 PM Residents are invited to join Parks staff on a walk through of the preferred option at the Park
Dexter Training Ground is near the Armory in Providence. It's one of the lucky parks that has a Friend's group to watch over it. Do your neighborhood parks have friend's groups?
