    "People run stop signs and lights all the time. That makes it dangerous when walking your dog. For you and your pet. There are quite a few places you can let your dog off leash and play with them in parks. "

    "Poor public sidewalk areas, not enough doggy bag stations. Also, low fencing for all the houses makes it easy for aggressive dogs to jump a fence. "

    "Love this neighborhood. Access to Waldo and Brookside is a 5-15 min walk via the Brookside trail. So many local restaurants, bars, parks, and stores to enjoy. Nice mix of young families and retired people give these neighborhoods a very stable feel. "
