    "Glass and garbage on the ground that could be dangerous to the dog. Many dog owners do not pick up after there pets feces. Many dog owners don’t have there pets on a leash. Many dogs are not friendly and could be a danger to owners who are not strong enough to control there pets. Dog owners take up majority of the side walk not giving people room on sidewalk or to bikers who are passing through. Many dog owners tie their dog to a post to go into a store leaving there dog alone unaccounted for possibly causing danger to pedestrians "

    "It’s not really a lot of places to walk your dog. And as far as the neighborhood it’s a lot of drug trafficking and shooting."
