Accessible Alleys

Ensure Easy Access to Alleys

Please help us to keep our alleys clear. If your property abuts an alley you know the added work it takes to keep this area of the yard under control. The area approximately 3 feet on either side of the tire track must be kept clear from brush, bushes, and high weeds so that vehicles can easily pass. These alleys serve as a right of way for utility workers as well as sole means for many residents to get to their garages and rear yards. Enforcement officers and street workers have seen a real trend towards owners failing to maintain the access to the alleys. This not only makes it difficult for city workers to get close to the equipment that they need to service, it can also cause damage to your or your neighbor's vehicles. Though many of our residents keep their alleys clear it only takes one property owner to cause a restriction. If you live on an alley, please take a second to make sure that it is properly maintained.
