Tell Us: Is Dog Poop a Problem on the Rail Trail?

Hellertown Borough Council heard from residents about puppy piles on the trail. Does the Upper Saucon portion have similar issues?

On Jan. 7, Hellertown resident Lee Weidner told Hellertown Borough Council he'd like it to investigate an unsightly and unsanitary problem--excessive dog poop on a section of the Saucon Rail Trail.

Hellertown Borough Council is now investigating the possibility of adding waste bags and signs on the Lower Saucon/Hellertown section of the trail. 

Upper Saucon Patch wants to know, is this a trail-wide issue? Have you seen "puppy piles" on the Upper Saucon Rail Trail? Should there be stricter rail trail enforcement for dog owners? Tell us in the comments!
