SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - Shreveports long awaited dog park is closer to fruition now the city has entered into a contract with landscape architect Lloyd Overdyke.

Shelly Ragle, Shreveport Public Assembly and Recreation director, tells The Times (http://bit.ly/1mewCUS ) the contract - with a budget of about $26,000 - was finalized at the end of last week.

The public will be presented with Overdykes working concept once hes met with the Shreveport Dog Park Alliance and the contract is routed through city purchasing and mayoral offices. The latter process is expected to take 10 to 15 days.

The city council approved moving forward with selecting a dog park designer in January, and bids opened May 8. Despite past contentions, Ragle says dog park plans are moving forward.
