Opposition to a Spring Valley-Ed Levin Dog Park

"I grew up in this part of the world and still enjoy it's tranquil beauty and lack of development. Please don't encroach the environment with more man-made implants. And please be aware of the safety and security to horses and their riders. Thank you."

"Building a dog park close to horse trails is a very dangerous thing. I know this from first hand experience. On trails near my house there are dogs that charge the fences along the trails. I do not see how some people can be so blind to the dog problem"

"Good Idea as I am sure not against having a dog run area.I have used dog beach in San Diego..Next to the Horse camp area or next to the trails is the county asking for accidents and law suites"

"Having a dog park that close to trails and an arena that I use on a regular basis can only mean trouble. Dogs can cause horses to spook horses can injure riders. Dogs can injure horses, and horses can injure dogs. Plus, there is all kinds of wildlife th"

"Dogs off leash and horses do not mix!! Please reconsider using the alternate area. "

"I think that putting a dog park in such close proximity to an existing trail used by horseback riders is an accident waiting to happen. It should be reconsidered whereas the safty of trail riders and their horses are taken into account"

"I work in Milpitas enjoy visiting the park. "

"This would create a real danger to horses, riders and dogs. Why would you want to endanger the lives of these animals and their owners."

"While I live some distance away, I ride at Ed Levin several times each year with friends who live in the area. I am dismayed to think that the city would have the shortsightedness to locate an offleash dog run within a few feet of the trail used by eques"

"Off leash dogs are dangerous, and combining that with an 1,000+ pound animal is a recipe for disaster. I ride the trails around that park and do not with to endanger my life or the lives of people around me, should and uncontrolled dog chase my horse."

"Having been involved in the development and an equestrian user of Ed Levin Park for over 30 years, the site selected does not consider the SAFETY of equestrians. Placing chain link, dog run fence ON the edge of a horse trail creates a potential accident!"

"I ride these trails at least 3x week. This area is a know wildlife area, often visited by wild turkey, raccoon, boar, hawks, bobcat, cougar, and deer. This area is also highly infested with deer tick due to the proximity of the deer."

"I would love a dog park, but this location couldn't be worse! The trail bordering the proposed dog park is used on a daily basis. Sometimes horses get spooked by barking dogs and accidents could bring law suits. I also have parking concerns. Once dog owne"

"To do what is safe and in the best interest of all parties (horseback riders, dog owners and city/county officials) a more suitable site should be found. Some dogs may want to play with or pursue the horses and a horse may react with its instinct and go "

"Relocate dog park to a safer location for everyone."
