The East Lansing Department of Parks, Recreation and Arts is seeking input from community members about the City’s Park, Recreation, Open Space and Greenways Plan for 2025-2029.

“Whether it’s hiking on the Northern Tier Trail, attending the weekly Farmers Market or spending time in our many parks and green spaces, we are interested in knowing what you enjoy and what you wish to see improve ... in order to make the City’s parks and recreational amenities the absolute best they can be for our community.”

The survey can be completed in about five minutes and will be open through the end of October.

During last night’s City Council meeting, a new ordinance was approved that no longer permits the use of electronic dog leashes in the community. With the ordinance’s approval, owners will be required to have their dog on a physical leash that does not exceed eight feet in length in all public spaces.

Over the next 30 days, the East Lansing Police Department plans to make contact with dog owners to educate them about the new ordinance and to share with them that they are planning to increase enforcement of the City’s dog leash ordinances in response to a growing number of complaints from community members.
