Resident thanks Safety Harbor for dog-park maintenance, raises parking safety concerns near Crooked Thumb events
Summary
A resident praised recent maintenance at the Crooked Thumb dog park and asked the city to address recurring illegal parking during nearby events; the city and deputy said they will work with deputies and local businesses and encouraged residents to call the nonemergency line when incidents occur.
Resident Frank Pattison told the commission he appreciated recent maintenance at the Crooked Thumb dog park but asked the city to fill a large hole, address several trees and adopt a regular maintenance schedule. He also raised safety concerns about cars parking along Tenth Avenue South during Crooked Thumb events, noting vehicles block sightlines near a fire hydrant and stop sign.
"Once again, thanks for the dog park, and I hope that it'll be put on a regular maintenance schedule," Pattison said.
Deputy Jim Davis, the city's community-policing officer, said deputies had been notified and supervisors were asked to ensure citation books are available for evening patrols. "If you see something like that, dial the non-emergency line and have us come out," Davis said, adding that deputies will respond when available and will take action when they can.
Mayor and staff said they will continue to work with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and local businesses to address parking during events.
