The Code of the Borough has been amended to prohibit dogs, cats or other pets to run at large or on a leash on any public lands within the Borough, when the public land is posted with a sign that states "No Pets Allowed" or similar language.
The Borough has received complaints concerning this issue. The parks and other Borough property are used heavily by both children and adults. The deposit left by pets running free and by inconsiderate pet owners is considered to be a health hazard by those using the public lands.
