Dog Owners invited to discuss concerns over walking dogs on boardwalk
on: April 16, 2009, 08:50

As reported by the Coaster;

By ELLEN CARROLL
Asbury Park dog owners are invited to attend a meeting at 10 a.m. Sat., April 11 at Asbury Bark on Cookman Avenue to discuss concerns about walking their pets on the boardwalk.

“This meeting will be an opportunity to discuss what direction we are going,” said Jim Modica, who owns the pet shop.

Over the weekend several dog owners said police told them they could not walk their dogs on the boardwalk.

Read the full story at the coaster.

Frankly, your editor/admin thinks its BS that you cant walk your dog on the boardwalk (leashed). How many more people can we afford to push away from AP?

Update From Jim Modica, Owner of Asbury Bark:

It seems that the city ordinance does prohibit dogs from the boardwalk, but the city/police had only been enforcing the regulation during the summer season. Apparently there is a small group of people in AP who do not want dogs on the boardwalk/beach at any time and have been insisting that the ordinance be enforced. Two Sundays ago the AP police started telling people with dogs they had to leave the boardwalk. Terry Riedy has now pulled together a committee to review this issue. I have been asked to be on this committee.

The best thing people can now do to voice their opinions is to attend the city council meet and make a statement. The next council meeting is Wednesday, April 22 beginning at 7pm.

Please come out and voice your opinion.

Hi, I am from Freehold. My husband is a Detective here in Freehold Boro. We have always enjoyed walking our dog Daisy on the Boardwalk in Asbury off season. Some vendors would even off water for the dogs. The Boardwalk was always filled with people enjoying the view and shops with their dogs. Today is October 4th and we were just very rudely told to leave the boardwalk. Many of my friends will be very upset to be turned away. The officer was very rude even after my husband identified himself as a fellow officer. ASbury is really coming back and it’s a shame that this is now the policy. You will lose a lot of business.
