Over time, there have been a few negative encounters with some of the Basin neighbors, leading to tensions in the area. It appears that the city is now on heightened alert regarding activities in the basin, perhaps in response to these complaints. This new sign felt like a veiled threat to our group, who only seek to enjoy the basin with our furry friends peacefully.
Feeling the need to take action, in response to this unnecessary sign, a website was quickly set up to serve as a platform to organize and advocate for off-leash dog freedom in Mesa Basin. Additionally, fliers promoting this website were strategically placed on the existing basin signs to spread awareness and encourage like-minded individuals to join our cause.
Let this new sign be a call to action for us. If something as trivial as a "Caution" sign can be used against us, imagine the impact we could have if we unite and stand together against any unwarranted adversity directed towards our community. Together, we can ensure that Mesa Basin remains a welcoming space for all dogs and their owners to enjoy freely and responsibly.
