Was there any mention of an expected time-line? I was actually hoping to attend the meeting myself, but I had a prior obligation.

Latest news from CB3 and the JHCrew:

Hello all,

There is an important meeting about the Dog Park next Wednesday at 10 AM, not being held at the community board office. Please see the email below for the specific information. I will be there, but it would be great if a few more people can make it.

Please let me know if you are available. I hope to see you soon!

Thanks

Jeffrey

    Jeffrey,

     

    A meeting with NYSDOT has been scheduled for Wednesday, July 1 at  47-40 21 Street, LIC, 10am to discuss the permit and insurance for the dog park. It is important that you or your representative be at the meeting. NYSDOT wants to meet with the individuals who will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the dog park. The permit will be issued to your organization's name, JHS Crew along with the name of the person who will be responsible for the overall operations of the facility.  Please let me know whether you will be able to attend, by this evening or tomorrow AM. I hope that everyone will be able to meet next week otherwise; it will be several weeks before the group can meet again. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

     
     
    Regards,
     
    Giovanna A. reid
    District Manager
    Community Board#3
    718-458-2707

I will be there - hopefully more can make it!

I was unable to make the meeting ... another fruitless job interview.  What happened???

I went to the area that was/is the intended dog run.  It is frighteningly noisey.  My puppy was cowering the entire time we were there which was early morning.  Is this the intended space for the puppy park?

Hi-
We are going to be moving to JH in December, along with our dog, Spencer.  We'd hoped there would be a dog run for him to play in by then, but it appears not.  Is there any more recent information about plans for the run than currently appears here?

The Fall 2009 issue of the Jackson Heights Beautification Group's newsletter has some information about the dog run.  The following is an excerpt from the JHBG's President, Edwin O'Keefe Westley's introduction:

"Our first Dog Park/Run is a step closer to being built.  The JHBG executive committee agreed to co-sponsor it and create a committee within the JHBG.  A group of neighbors, JH Crew, will run the committee and be responsible for the Dog Park/Run.  We have been working with Community Board 3, NYS Department of Transportation, and JH Crew over the past couple of years to make this a reality.  The Dog Park/Run will be located on 69th Street and 35th Avenue at the northwest corner.  There will be a 1,700 sq. ft. small dog (25 lbs & under) area and a 4,500 sq. ft. area for large dogs.  The surface will be 3 inches of wood chip mulch.  One entry box will serve both areas with separate gate panels (small/large) inside the entry box, one trash receptacle for each, and several 8 feet long 1964 World Fair benches with back and arms."

By the way, I spotted several copies of JHBG's latest newsletter at Espresso 77.
