I see people getting tickets in the parking lots and trails of Lower Hulls Gulch, but I'm wondering if 8th street road/extension itself is on or off leash? It isn't signed.Douglasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086339230924465424.post-22505499843411258302010-02-02T22:10:32.455-07:002010-02-02T22:10:32.455-07:00thanks for your comments. anonymous- i think that ...thanks for your comments. anonymous- i think that if you have ideas for ways to improve enforcment it would be great to contact the city and share them. <br /><br />matt- i share many of your thoughts and said as much to the caller. but i wasn't there and i also know how annoyed i get when i feel like i'm being scolded.mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161286244652942493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086339230924465424.post-11644138059149436362010-02-02T21:13:52.484-07:002010-02-02T21:13:52.484-07:00I've not had any negative experiences with IHS...I've not had any negative experiences with IHS enforcement. I always say hello when I pass them and they always say hello back. <br /><br />It bears repeating that many dog owners did request additional enforcement of existing rules. I have heard that the enforcement officers get treated pretty badly, in general. Try to put yourselves in their shoes. To the person who relayed the story in the post - to plead ignorance or confusion about the rules is not a legitimate excuse to have your dogs off leash in the wrong place. I find it hard to believe that a 30 year trail user didn't know that the sign that says on leash actually means that your dog must be on a leash. Confusion after this many years with the current system - I don't buy it.mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086339230924465424.post-74616947613640268792010-02-02T09:42:45.017-07:002010-02-02T09:42:45.017-07:00I am not in favor of donating to any organization ...I am not in favor of donating to any organization that accepts money to sit in a vehicle with the motor running, at a city park, for one hour. IHS could certainly make a recommendation that enforcement funds could be better utilized by focusing on park surveillance when there are actually people in the park and determine better ways to utilize the funds that would benefit Boise City. At a minimum, it is irresponsible management. I find this practice quite offensive especially in light of significant needs that are not being addressed and Boise's financial crisis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086339230924465424.post-60647563396898719102010-01-28T21:48:34.041-07:002010-01-28T21:48:34.041-07:00thanks for your comment. enforcement is contracted...thanks for your comment. enforcement is contracted by the city and not paid for by donations. two separate things. as far as green parks go, ihs is often called by neighbors. elm grove is one park where this happens consistently. not excusing any abrasive interaction, merely explaining how the funding works, because it's a shame for much needed funds to be reduced because of a misunderstanding about how they're used.mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161286244652942493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086339230924465424.post-4454337444989262172010-01-28T09:13:49.005-07:002010-01-28T09:13:49.005-07:00My interaction with IHS personal is similar and I ...My interaction with IHS personal is similar and I refuse to make any further contributions to the IHS. During the winter, IHS personal would sit in their vehicle at the park across from my home for over an hour. This is at at time when the temperature was below 32 degrees and there were no people in the park. I approached the vehicle, one person was reading a book and the other was just sitting. When asked about the use of there time, the make was very abrasive. If IHS is going to use what limited funds it has in this manner, I will not support it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
