The Shore Road Dog Run Cost A Million Dollars!
A million dollars was spent for an enclosed area of grass and concrete, where owners will play on their phones, as their dogs poop.
I’m a dog owner and a dog lover and that was a waste of money.
In 2018, Justin Brannan allowed Bay Ridge to have Participatory Budgeting. The dog park was one of the projects and it was VOTED DOWN. People chose projects for schools and the park instead.
Then Brannan pushed the project anyway:
Years ago, I spoke online to Justin Brannan about this dog park and I told him that he didn’t need a dog park near his house.
Councilman Brannan told me his dogs couldn’t go to a dog park (he didn’t explain why). But in this article, Brannan said, “Luna and Fiorello, who’ve been absolutely beside themselves with anticipation since we told them about this new dog run.” (Source)
There are two dog parks in the area – one is poorly maintained. (See here) The other one is bit better, but the parks in our area of Brooklyn are not well maintained. (See Manhattan Dog Park)
