Dog owners assemble!
We lost some steam on the Ala Moana front (my fault as I moved over to the Windward side), but Kakaako needs our help. Ward Village condos were sold with promise of dog-friendly facilities and grounds. Now Howard Hughes is reversing their decision and stating dogs will no longer be allowed anywhere on the landscaping. What does this mean? Are pets supposed to shishi on the sidewalks if not allowed in the grass? Where do owners walk their dogs with Ala Moana AND Kakaako now forbidding dogs? Exercise is essential. Dog parks are not the answer! Not all dogs are created equally, but the City and County (and now Howard Hughes) have dog parks have been made the "one-size-fits-all" solution for some reason. Dogs AND their humans should be allowed to play and exercise in peace.
Here are some links on how you can join this fight to keep Kakaako a dog lovers' paradise:
