Long Beach is moving on with possibly developing a brand-new dog beach closer to Downtown after the City Council voted all Tuesday night to direct city staff to start trying to find a 2nd place.
Long Beach already has a location of its coastline devoted to dogs and their owners in the 4.1-acre Rosie’s Dog Beach that opened in Belmont Shore in 2003. That beach is open to dogs from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and offers bags and scoopers for animal owners to tidy up after their animals and has actually ended up being home to a variety of dog-centric occasions for many years.
However, Councilmember Cindy Allen is asking the city to produce a 2nd website more detailed to Downtown to make dog beach space simpler to get to for individuals living Downtown and West and Central Long Beach.
“This is an issue of accessibility and our city needs and wants another dog beach,” Allen said.
Allen represents the city’s second City Council District, which ranges from Alamitos Avenue to Bluff Park along the city’s coastline, and she’s asking for that a prospective brand-new dog beach be found because district.
The city’s second and 3rd City Council Districts are the only 2 with beachfront locations.
While dogs are needed by city regulation to be leashed at all times, Rosie’s Dog Beach offers an unusual chance beyond a dog park where dogs are permitted to lawfully be unrestrained in the city.
Allen hasn’t pointed out a particular place for a brand-new dog park, however she requested for city staff to bring a report back to the council to think about in the next 60 days that would consist of possible websites along with a favored website and running guidelines for dog owners.
The council voted all to authorize the report Tuesday. Because the dog beach will likely remain in the location of the Coastal Zone where the California Coastal Commission should authorize licenses for usage, any future dog beach place would need to be authorized by that body prior to the city can open it to animals.
