Subject: [DOGPAW] Update on Vandervoort opening

We received an update today from the Vancouver Fire Department about the 
projected opening of the temporary off leash park at Vandervoort.  It looks like 
it will be early next week, Feb 25th or 26th when the site will be ready.  Due 
to concerns from the neighbors surrounding Vandervoort some changes had to 
made to the project to keep one acre outside the fenced off leash area to be used 
as a play space for children and this change has added cost and time to the 
project. This will leave about 7 acres for the off leash park. The cost of this 
project is now about $13,000, with the majority of that being paid by 
Vancouver Fire Department and the rest being picked up by Clark County.   The date 
that the current temporary space at Pacific will close has been extended so that 
there will still be a 2 week overlap of when Vandervoort opens and when 
Pacific closes, which is now estimated to be March 10th.  We will send an e-mail 
out and have signs at Pacific announcing when Vandervoort is open for business. 
 
Dogpaw has been extremely pleased by the commitment of Vancouver Fire 
department and Clark County to accommodate dog owners by providing this temporary 
space.  The off leash park at Vandervoort will be open until the permanent off 
leash Dakota park at Pacific opens this summer. 
 
Remember to join us at the Dogpaw annual membership meeting on Wednesday 
March 5th at 6:30p to learn more about plans for new off leash parks for 
Vancouver.  All the details about the meeting are on our web site,
