Arlington Passes Off Leash Dog Article 36


Quoted from www.arlingtondogowners.org/news

Article 36 Passes at Town Meeting By a vote of 78-70, Arlington Town Meeting passed a substitute motion sponsored by A-DOG Town Meeting Members. This will allow dogs off leash, under owner control, in parks under Parks and Recreation Commission authority. Certain areas will be excluded, including parks right next to school buildings, within 15 ft of playground equipment, and any other site by exclusion of the Parks and Recreation Commission, which may also set shorter hours. This bylaw change, after approval by the Attorney General, will go into effect in a few months, probably by September. A great step for responsible dog owners in Arlington!
