Dogs and cyclists can mix

Dog owners howling about the city's draft plan for a southeast off-leash park should put a muzzle on it. The changes will improve Southland Park, and accommodate more multiple users.

The park is there to be shared, yet dog owners have come to think of it as their own private off-leash space after the floods of 2005 wiped out pathways and restricted access.

All recreational users -- including cyclists, hikers and runners-- will have equal access under the proposal, which will drastically improve the path system in and around the park. MORE>>

It looks as if they are reviewing by-laws about everywhere.. but dogs should win out because we love them, and they bring us such joy :)) oh....
