Dog Walking Pilot Could Be Approved Tonight

Cleveland Heights City Council is expected to vote on legislation that would allow dogs in Cain Park under certain restrictions.

 modeled after a program in Lakewood that culminated in the abolishment of dog prohibitions in the city's parks, needs a majority vote from council to pass.

The pilot program would allow leashed dogs in the park for six months.

The group is seeking volunteers to refill dog waste bags at the parks during the trial, which would take place from April 15 to October 15.

The proposal follows a survey last year about whether dogs should be allowed in Cain Park.
