In August 2013, we launched a pilot project to add Dog Relief Areas in unused, abandoned tree wells throughout the neighborhood. Along with new signage on many of our trash cans, the artificial turn deodorizer plots are designed to help remind pet owners to be responsible for their pet’s waste and to mitigate the cleanliness and health issues associated with having such a dog-dense community.
We’ve seen great response to these initiatives from residents and business owners in the area as well as in the press. See links below:
