Conshohocken dog park proposal ramps up (video) - September 26, 2011
Jenny DeHuff of the Times Herald:
CONSHOHOCKEN — A group of canine confederates rejoiced after Wednesday night’s borough council meeting, when council adopted a resolution supporting a new dog park in the area.
While a location has yet to be determined, the Friends of a Conshohocken Dog Park are eager to see the wheels in motion.
Council President Paul McConnell said, during a recent council workshop meeting, the Friends submitted a business plan and proposal outlining how the township might work with the dog park group to work out the kinks of the project.
The motion, made by Transportation and Parking Committee Chair Jason Salus, passed unanimously.
Raj Gupta, Friends committee member and candidate for borough council in the first ward, said cost totally depends on the location.
“It was a big win tonight just to get the council to support it,” he told The Times Herald.
“So now we’ll work with the park and recreation subcommittee to find a location based on that. We want to put together a proper dog park. Our message to council has always been that this will be privately funded, with no taxpayer dollars.”

Pups, owners gather at Spampinato's for another Yappy Hour (video) - July 17, 2011
Terry Casey of the Times Herald:
Conshohocken resident and labradoodle owner Raj Gupta took advantage of the Yappy Hour to set up a table of his own outside Spampinato’s Sunday.
His mission: Bring a dog park to the borough.
It isn’t just that he has to currently drive to Ambler or Radnor for a dog park; Gupta believes a dog park would be good for the community and local businesses.
“People will come from neighboring towns to visit the dog park, and then they’ll stay in town for a while”, he said.
Gupta is currently circulating a petition, which he then plans to bring to council.
