Cynthia Hughes Submitting Comments Re: Nunziato OLRA Being Locked at 8 AM.

My name is Cynthia Hughes and I am a longtime resident of Somerville.  I have been going to Nunziato Dog park from day one, and am very thrilled to have it for my dogs.

 

I have been very pleased since the beginning and have rarely had concerns until recently.

 

I believe the date was Nov 4th (Thurs) I arrived as I do every morning before work (approx 8am) and was surprised to find the park locked again, I hadn't wanted to complain but after a few times going to the park before work and it being locked and not being able to exercise my dogs I was upset.

 

Especially considering the other half of the park (grassy side) was wide open.

 

I am not sure why responsible dog owners are being punished and even worse our DOGS, but I would really like to see the policy changed back to a no lock policy.

 

I am quite baffled as to why it is being locked in the first place, but to put one more responsibility on DPW seems a bit much when every other park in Somerville is unlocked, I don't even blame them, I blame it on the new policy all together.

 

I hope this can be resolved for the sake of our pets who have little space in our city to begin with, so we really cherish a great park like we have.

 

Thanks in advance for you attention to this matter

 

Sincerely,

 

Cynthia Hughes

Tucker and Tanner too!!
