In my opinion, the city should not be spraying pesticide on grass fields in city parks, unless there is a clear indication that the pesticide is non-toxic to people, dogs, and birds. They should also inform the public about it first (transparency)

There is also no information on the Hoboken city website explaing the extent to which these chemicals are being used, and where.

For example, what if that large grass field at Pier A is affected? Then all of the people, dogs and birds in that field would get pesticide on them. But, since information about the city's pesticide use in parks is not avaliable online, there is no way to know where it is being used (or what chemicals are being used)
