The Raleigh City Council passed an ordinance to regulate dog tethering and approved the comprehensive bicycle plan after two public hearings.
The Raleigh City council will hold public hearings during its March 3 evening session on a proposed animal tethering ordinance and a new comprehensive bike plan.
Council got an interim report on tiered water rates, and the animal tethering ordinance has a public hearing set for March 3.
Raleigh City Council voted 4-4 yesterday and denied a citizen petition to extend the comprehensive plan public comment period. Jason Hibbets presented a petition on behalf of several community groups to extend the time by 30 days.

The Raleigh city council will consider a new animal tethering ordinance at its next meeting. Councilor Nancy McFarlane had asked the city manager for a report on where the city stands with animal tethering. The city has no ordinance on the books dealing with tying pets up, but rather relies on state animal cruelty laws.
