Come talk all things TC

Posted on May 26, 2014 by GLHowe

Reminder, the scheduled City Commission study session for Tuesday night has been canceled. In its place, I’m hosting the second Micro City Sessions at The Little Fleet. Come talk all-things TC over a beverage with a commissioner (or two) and fellow citizens. 7-PM in the beer garden.

MicroCitySession2Perhaps one of the topics that will come up is parkland. Did you know the City has 34 parks? Below is a map of all of them excluding the Brown Bridge Quiet Area that is 10 miles south of town. The City Commission recently voted to place on the ballot a proposal to fund park improvements, so it’d be helpful for us all to be familiar with our assets.

Also, I need to give a big-bark in support of an effort to raise $5500 for Wags West, our off-leash socializing dog park (labeled as such in the map below). Since its opening two-years ago, its popularity proved hard on the grass and during the hot summers canine-hydration has been a struggle. A band of volunteers are raising money on behalf of the City for ground cover (stone) and water stations.

Wags_PosterThe many ways to give this week are:

  1. Download a donation form and send in a check (business sponsorships available).
  2. Buy raffle tickets at the D.O.G. Bakery on West Front St.
  3. Attend the D.O.G. Bakery’s 10 year anniversary this Saturday afternoon.
  4. Saturday night again come to The Little Fleet for a bow-wow good time in the beer garden starting at 4pm.

More information can be found at the Traverse City Off-leash Dog Park Facebook page or feel free to send me a message with any questions.
