Results are in: Your off-leash dog should earn you a citation
March 7th, 2011 by tristan baurickThe Bainbridge Conversation’s last poll asked readers to weigh in on how the park district should handle the growing number of dogs at island parks. See related story here.
With a sturdy 53 percent of the vote, the top answer was for the park district to hand out citations to violators of off-leash and poop clean-up rules.
Coming in at Number Two with a distant 24 percent was a desire for the district to build more off-leash areas.
Seventeen percent said off-leash hours should be allowed at certain parks that get little use.
Five percent suggested that specially-trained dogs be allowed to go off-leash at parks.
And coming in last with one vote was the idea for an expanded off-leash area at Eagledale Park.

Tristan — Polls are interesting, but only if you tell us how many people voted. Then, those of us who are interested in such things can tell whether they are statistically valid. Given Bainbridge Island’s adult population, that would be roughly 275 votes.
