Project Description

Alleys offer important access for residents to the rear of their property and parking of their vehicles. The city’s concrete alley reconstruction program started in 2018 as part of an effort to rebuild 67 miles of concrete alleyway throughout the city. Alley reconstruction includes removal of existing concrete driving surface, alley approaches, and adjustment or replacement of castings. Since 2018, Public Works has reconstructed over 18 miles of alleys. Stone alleys are graded on a yearly basis to improve and maintain the existing stone driving surface.

What to expect during construction:

Residents will receive notification letters in the mail informing them that the alley they live on has been selected for reconstruction once the alley project has been awarded to a contractor. Residents will receive a second letter on their door approximately one to two days before the start of construction on their alleyways. During construction, your garbage and recycling service will be moved from the alley to the curb. Please set your garbage/recycling carts at the curb before 6 a.m. on your normal pick-up day. For questions about garbage/recycling collection, please call 427-2474.
