Hello, I think I've been a pretty patient neighbor about this. I want to start with I do not blame the dog. The wall is far too low for this size dog. There are two sidewalks leading into Parkwest Park, this is one of them. The situation has made the sidewalk impossible to use! The entire neighborhood can't even use 1 of only 2 sidewalks leading into the park! I was empathetic early on, I know it's not cheap to raise a wall, but it's not that expensive either. It's been a couple years now. I've heard other neighbors have made complaints, yet nothing happens. I've also noticed that on occasion it appears they put some type of a shock collar on the dog as he does not bark. However this is not consistent and no one wants to take the risk in using the sidewalk any longer. This dog is inches away from your face if you are on the sidewalk. I've witnessed dozens of unsuspecting people have to jump out into the street in terror. It's wrong these people have claimed the public sidewalk leading into the park for themselves. For a while they had pigeon wire up which was absolutely useless, the remedy for this is raising the wall and stop terrorizing the neighborhood. The constant barking can be heard from blocks away as well. I want to reiterate I don't blame the dog, in this situation. Certainly there's some kind of statute that you cannot render a public sidewalk useless? Do we need to start a GoFundMe to raise the wall? Is there nothing you all can do to enforce this? Please help City Of Albuquerque! This has been going on far too long!
