Crocker Avenue Proposal — Dog Park and Temporary Skate/Bike Road Closure

Description

A board member's proposal to temporarily close south Crocker Avenue for kids' skating and biking while designating a small dog park near Hayward Lumber, with no cost to the city. The board created a subcommittee to explore it rather than approving it.

Impact summary

If pursued, it would change a residential street's use, potentially affect parking, deliveries, and a deer wildlife corridor, and place a dog park next to homes.

Crocker Avenue Proposal — Dog Park and Temporary Skate/Bike Area

A private donor has earmarked money for a fenced dog park, and the board has been weighing Arnett, Rip Van Winkle, Hayward, and possibly Caledonia. Nearly every speaker opposed a fence in Rip Van Winkle's forest, citing trails, wildlife, parking, liability, and maintenance. The board dropped Rip Van Winkle and will look at Caledonia and other options before recommending anything to council.
