Geese in Foster City - How Big of a Problem are They?

It costs Foster City at least $25,000 per year to clean up after geese and put up fences to keep them out.

 

In this video, Patch reporter Sadaf Ayub examines the geese population in Foster City and its impact.

Besides being an annoyance to those who accidentally step in their droppings, geese can cost the city upwards of $25,000 per year to clean up after them and install protective fences in geese traffic areas.

We want to hear from you - what do you think? Are geese welcome visitors, or a big problem for our city?
