Dear Editor: Dog pooh - an election issue? I'll vote for a city council candidate that takes a stance on enforcing the city bylaws around pet excrement.For 10 years we have been picking up little plastic baggies of poo, flung in our hedges, on our sidewalks and in our green bins. We have posted signs, posted the poo in baggies, and even provided baggies, to no avail. The laststraw was when poo was dropped right at the base of one of our signs.When the city was phoned about signs and enforcement, they stated they were aware of the problem but could do nothing. I asked for bylaw sign(s). The city didn't want to provide a bylaw sign because then they would have to put them everywhere.What does that tell you? I even offered to pay for a sign. Nope. Shortof purchasing expensive security cameras to catch the per"pet"rators in the act of leaving their dog poo - under the stealth of darkness - we are fit to be tied.Sad, in this day and age, that some people need to be called out on their complete lack of consideration for others, especially the school kids who walk this route every day.Patrick Comey North Vancouver
