Dear City Council,
My deepest apologies for missing the public comment section of the City Council meeting today! My comments are related to the curbside area at Shetler Ave, next to Phillips Magnet Elementary School, and in front of Shurtleff Park.
A new change was recently made to reserve curbside time specific to school children drop off/ pick up for the Phillips Magnet Elementary School on Shetler Ave, including the curb section directly in front of Shurtleff Park.
This park is one of the few off-leash dog parks located in Napa and is frequently used by dog owners, myself included.
My concern is focused on ensuring safety for both the Phillips Magnet Elementary school children that are being dropped off/ picked up and companion animals that are exercised throughout the day at Shurtleff Park by their owners.
According to some statistics and research studies 30% of animal bites are to children age 12 and younger. Given this, I would like to strongly encourage reconsiderations for the curb section immediately located at the front side of Shurtleff park (which includes the entrance gate) to be repurposed back to general parking to minimize/ eliminate the cross flow between children and companion animals.
Thank you all for your service and all that each of you brings to the community! With warmest regards,
Rose Sheehan
