Alley Reclamation Initiative- Given the density of the Westside and St. Casimir’s neighborhoods, elimination of the alley system is not feasible because of the necessity to move and store large numbers of vehicles in the area. Therefore, an alley maintenance program is needed to improve the drive surface, safety and appearance of the alleys. Public provision of residential security lighting could be incorporated into a city/resident cooperative upkeep program for the alleys.5.
