Resident asks commission to consider sidewalks and dog-waste station at Harrison Circle Park
Summary
During items from citizens, a resident asked the commission to consider sidewalks at Harrison Circle Park and requested a dog-waste station; staff said the park improvements will be considered as part of the 2026 capital projects list and dog-waste stations can be installed easily.
A resident asked the commission whether the city had further conversations about installing sidewalks at Harrison Circle Park and whether the commission would consider adding a dog-waste station.
Rita, the commission clerk, read public-comment rules and the resident described two possible sidewalk approaches discussed after an earlier meeting: two on-ramps with an interior park path rather than a full perimeter sidewalk, noting the park’s shape limits options. A staff member responded that the project is not simple but said parks were included in a special meeting on capital improvements and that the item will be carried forward on the city’s list of citizen-requested projects for consideration.
On the dog-waste station request, a staff member said, “we can do that. Those are easily installed.” The staff member and commissioners indicated the park work would likely be a 2026 project and cautioned residents not to expect immediate construction.
No formal motion or funding allocation was made at the meeting. The commission recorded the citizen request for inclusion in the capital improvements planning process and staff signaled intent to evaluate feasibility and timing.
