He said last year there were some safety issues, therefore, the Safety Committee reviewed and discussed this matter in depth. He said that because of the amount of people in the park on that day, the Safety Committee was recommending to prohibit dogs on July 4. Commissioner Thomas Curley asked for specific times. It was agreed there would be no dogs allowed in the park from noon to midnight on July 4. Commissioner Thomas McTygue said signs would be posted by his department making visitors aware that no dogs would be allowed on that day.
