thx to all for your input, pardon my lack of legal understanding...this ROW runs between mine and my neighbor's houses, basically part of both our side/back yards. It is used to connect a dead end street behind us both to the main road we both live on. Our backyard is fenced but as was explained when we purchased a year ago, we own 4 ft+ of land outside of the fence, but for obvious reasons cannot enclose. I will also add the neighbors do use the front half of this space (we have no fence there) as additional driveway space. Their dog is let loose to do his business and comes over to the area well within our 4ft+ (trained that way??) to leave his large 'gifts'. We maintain that property, as it is ours, even though public. Grandpa says to call the Health Inspector?
I would agree except I like the dog way more than anyone who lives in the house
