At about 8:45 pm my children and I were walking our dog on her leash and a coyote came towards us. I would not be as concerned except this is the third time this has happened since January. I fear this same lone coyote is unafraid of people and is crossing Walnut Street Pike to feed out of the dumpster at Walnut Springs Apartments (I believe these are the name of the set of brown and tan apartment buildings) the trash dumpster is always out of control. Beds, furniture and food refuse litters the ground and dumpster area daily. Skunk is running around as well but this coyote has me nervous. My first time seeing it I thought it was a German shepherd loose but I knew it was a coyote from its gruff and it’s tail. I saw it about 5ish one January day. Then I saw it again, same driveway, same area in early March about 7ish - that’s when I figured it’s living in the field that has an abandoned house and possibly crossing the road to eat out of the dumpster. This third time it was in the yard of the abandoned house. It walked towards us then stood still just watching us. This time my dog was unaffected and unbothered also where she wasn’t the prior times. I’m now afraid this coyote is use to humans and getting braver. It’s also April and I fear it’s obviously protecting its territory. Walnut Street Pike this year (this is my 3rd Spring here) it seems busier with more children outdoors and high pet traffic; seeing this coyote once I feel was luck, twice was a rush of fear, three times I felt I needed to send out a warning as the trees and bushes are going to fill in more making it harder to see the coyote but easier for the coyote to see us humans and our pets. When the coyote gets to going at night it’s pretty intimidating and cool at the same time - I’ve recorded it - it’s definitely some coyote howls!!!

Frank Marshalek walks his large dog off leash through the neighborhood every single day. The dog goes onto people's property, including my porch, and also approaches other dogs. I am terrified of dogs and request someone address this, as he has refused to do so when asked.

My neighbor has great Danes that she lets defecate along the sidewalk on the grassy area down Monroe street and in the grassy field between her house at 643 Monroe Street and 11th Street. She does not pick up her dogs feces and it's becoming a health hazard.
