The Gated Alley Program provides homeowners adjacent to an alleyway the opportunity to request both the relocation of solid waste services from the alley to curbside and permission to install locked gates at the end of the alley to promote safety.

Neighborhoods must provide a completed petition signed by 50% +1 or more of all property owners adjacent to the alley, agreeing to relocate solid waste services and install gates.

All public utilities, residents and owners with properties adjacent to the alley will be provided 24-hour access.

Emergency response vehicles will require access and therefore no structures or improvements are allowed that impede access except for the alley gates.

After gate installation and final cleanup, responsibility will fall on property owners/tenants to maintain the cleanliness of their respective section of the alley. This maintenance responsibility encompasses the length of your property to the center of the alley.

While having trash bins and bulk trash in our alleys is beneficial to most, the benefit of not having unwanted visitors wandering through our allies could be a much larger benefit. It is no secret that our neighborhood struggles to keep unwanted trespassers out.

By gating our alleys it limits the access that these visitors have and strengthens our neighborhoods safety and well-being.
