Can I just rant for a minute? One of the residents in my building has a Yorkshire terrier. Over the weekend we had nice weather, and she was outside with the dog on a leash, one of those retractable lines. She was cleaning out the backseat of her car and holding the dog's leash at the same time. The dog was exploring. I pulled out of my parking space and carefully drove around the dog. What makes me mad is that she wasn't paying close attention to where the dog was - and he had the line pretty far out in his explorations. Our parking lot entrance is one down from a tollway entrance ramp that a lot of people miss - so they use our parking lot to turn around. People don't always drive carefully. I was worried for the little guy that someone would come zooming through the lot while the neighbor was busy in the backseat. We've asked for a speed bump to be installed but so far, no luck. The tollway administration won't change the signs or lighting either, so drivers will continue to miss the on ramp. There are not only pets in my building but older people, a couple of families with small children, and sometimes the older people get visits from their grandchildren. I don't know what else to do to keep an accident from happening. I just wish people would be more careful.
