They don´t allow Dogs or Bicycles in the Malecon anymore, but a hundred drunk Paceños vomiting, and peeing all over the place is fine

Jesse,
When did this ban on dogs and bikes take effect? Would be nice to take a stroll and not worry about the 'land mines' and a shout of "POOP ALERT!"
I think the world is run by C- students.

A few weeks ago, can't understand why they banned the Bikes.

Seems like most of the bikers took it pretty slow on the malecon and a lot of children with their bikes and trikes. Sounds like it will be hard to
enforce over time.
How about roller blades?

Banning dogs? Pretty funny! I run the malecon from Marina de La Paz to Marina Palmira at dawn each day during our winter stay (5 months). The street
dogs OWN the malecon at dawn. Their "land mines" are their contribution to creating awareness of holes, broken tiles, and trash that means one must
watch where they step. Not a bad idea all over Mexico. Are the policia going to get involved, citing these trespassers?
There is one badly overworked animal control person for the entire city who tries to deal with the impressive number of strays. Just like in any
habitat, take one animal out, you create a niche for another to move in.
Many gringos have helped out with adopting and paying for Vet care for these strays. One of the best ran Hacienda de la Cortez (Englebert's) as a
shelter and provided transportation up to the states for adoption. But, she is gone. Mascotas de La Paz has been pretty inactive for the past few
years. Gonna be pretty interesting when the winter folks with dogs and/or bicycles come down. It's a long way from Costa Baja Marina to downtown and
the traffic is not generous to bicycles. It's a beautiful walkway, getting better each year. The old, broken sidewalk of the old days is gone and La
Paz is certainly better for it.

Is she the wife of the manager? They lived in one of the casitas? One of their dogs scared the crap out of my son when he was much smaller - he
startled the dog as we were leaving, and the dog started yapping away at him. She couldn't have been more apologetic, though it wasn't anybody's
fault.
