Local experts weigh in on respecting the coyote in the Village of Bayside.

Bayside resident sounds the alarm on bicyclist, motorist and pedestrian safety on the busy, narrow road, but police say they actively enforce the speed limit to ensure the road is safe.
In the more than 25 years Captain Scott McConnell has been with the Bayside Police Department, he says there has never been a serious motorist vs. bicyclist or pedestrian accident on Fairy Chasm Road. But that's not to say it can't or won't happen. Tuesday in a blog on Patch, resident Tom Noble, who is running for Bayside Village Board, put a call for changes on the road because he says the many bicyclists, motorists and pedestrians who use it are asking for trouble. "We have been very lucky that we have avoided any major incidents, especially involving our children who actively play in the area," Noble wrote. "Sadly, I think we are living on borrowed time." He says the easy fix would be to add more "Slow Down" and "Watch for Pedestrians…
