Can We Prevent Another Withrow Park Closure?

The discovery a week ago of a bag of bullets in Riverdale park signed, "Rx for Pit Bulls" reminds us that not everyone out there has a healthy respect for dogs or the law. Last year's poisoning and subsequent closure of Withrow Park is an event that none of us want to experience again. The question we might ask Riverdale residents given this latest incident is how dog owners and the rest of the community can learn to coexist. Are dog owners respecting the rules of the park? As a community, are we flexible enough to accommodate the growing trend of dog ownership and its associated impact on the local infrastructure? Communities change and good communities are capable of adjusting to those changes. What are your thoughts? Are we doing enough? What can the city do to help prevent these kinds of incidents?
