The 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.
