DERBY — Fido has forever been banned from the Derby Greenway.
The Board of Aldermen voted 9-1 Thursday in favor of an ordinance that bans all domestic and exotic animals —excluding service animals — from the popular recreational walkway on Division Street.
The ordinance, which will go into effect in 15 days, reads:

“No person shall take domestic or exotic animals onto the Greenway. Animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, birds, snakes, rodents and horses. Any violation of the rules and regulation of this ordinance may be enforced by the City of Derby Police Department, by citation and fine in the amount of $75, or any other fine as allowed by law. The City of Derby Police Department shall be authorized to direct person(s) who violate this Ordinance to leave the Greenway.”
