Reply to comment by RL_Mutt in Proud of our work today on Stonewall Road! We were repairing a sunken area, and installing backfill. And finally, we topped it off with hot mix asphalt. by BmoreCityDOT

We do! We've been working on it since last week. A few intersections' clocks have gone out of sync with each other, causing the corridor not to be synchronized.

We've been doing work on them, and need to keep monitoring them to make sure no more sync issues have happened.

That would infringe on people’s property. Our city is old, so many alleys were not designed for the size of vehicles we have today.

Sure! Send us a 311 request using the Traffic Calming request, and enter in as much detail as you can. Width of the alley is useful.

>This seems like super insufficient warning, notification, and time for dispute.

Residents are given 7 days from the receipt of the postcard that will be mailed to each neighboring property.

>Also, can anyone else exactly what they’re closing?

As stated, the alley between N Bond St & N Broadway. The alley is unnamed.

​

>both alleys connected to Hakesley Place are drivable (unless changed in the past few years)

This is incorrect, the north part of the alley is too narrow for vehicular passage.

​

>Is it that vague blur at the top of the map?

No. As stated in the text, it is the red and white striped area of the alley.

​

>Why is the map centered on Hakesley Place?

Because that is the area most residents are familiar with. We centered the map on recognizable landmarks, as the alley itself is unnamed.

​

>If it’s already undrivable, what are they doing to close it off?

We will be complete blocking access to East Preston St.

​

>What’s the point of putting money into closing it off if vehicles already don’t fit?

Because vehicles keep trying, and damaging the building. The property owner already installed a bollard to prevent further damage, which makes the alley even narrower.
