Michelle Olson <br /> From: <br /> Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2011 9:47 AM <br /> To: Michelle Olson <br /> Subject: Floral Park Parking restrictions <br /> Godd day Michelle.......... <br /> my nmae is Dan Hessler. I live on James Circle about 2 blocks from Floral Park. I love that park. I take my <br /> Beagle, Tinker Belle on walks daily, sometime twice. I like the parking arrangement as it stands currently and <br /> would like to see it remain. I know plans for a new parking arrangement would leave the steps to the park <br /> unobstructed but I can still see people parking in front of them anyway, especially in the winter months if the <br /> curbs are covered by snow. While walking to and from the park those steps are often needed and again I can see <br /> some not so bright folks parking directly in front of them thus making it difficult to access the paved sidewalks <br /> ther in. <br /> While on the subject of the park may I suggest a couple of more waste baskets for dog doodoo disposal. <br /> Currently there are but 2 in the entire park, one near the pavallion and one behind the backstop of the ball field. <br /> As a regular dog walker and also runner I am constantly seeing bags of feces that owners have picked up and <br /> then tossed in the weeds and I guess I am thinking if there were more waste recepticlas around this may help the <br /> problem. I would also like to request ,perhaps, one or 2 more signs encouraging dog walkers to leash their pets <br /> and pick up after them. Last Sept my dog and I were both attacked by an Irish Setter, a rather large dog, whose <br /> owner was about 50 yards away and simply watched as I repeatedly had to fight the dog off, all the while all she <br /> did was call her dog, she would not come to my aid or that of my dog. I finally managed to fight the dog off, <br /> and get out of there. I often see owners letting their dogs run loose thinking there is no one else around, it blows <br /> my mind....and yes, there are piles of feces all over the park, again, owners just not being responsible and that <br /> upsets me to no end. I have 6 young grand children and take them to the park when they visit and am constantly <br /> looking out for piles of feces that has been left behind by irresponsible owners. <br /> Thank you for letting me vent and throw in my 2 cents worth . Have a great day... <br /> Thank You, <br /> Dan J Hessler <br /> 4109 James Circle <br /> Arden Hills <br /> 1 <br />
