<p class="MsoNormal">Old North Board and Interested Parties,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Following our last meeting where alley maintenance was discussed, I met with the Public Works Senior Supervisor who oversees road maintenance. The city intends to undertake some modest alley maintence with grading and pothole filling in
early to mid-November. What makes this difficult and may prevent success is the overgrowth of landscaping and other materials that significantly encroach into the alley right-of-way and impede the access of heavy equipment to do this work.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This issue seems to be present in the alleys bordered by C-D Streets as well as D-E and E-F. There seems to be adequate clearance for alleys between B-C Streets and F-G Streets. The city has had great pushback when they removed landscaping
in the past so is asking property owners if they would prune material back if it is significantly entering the right-of-way. This may also be beneficial for residents who access the alleys.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The city can refer such matters to code enforcement personnel, but would like to avoid such draconian action and proceed with a more cooperative approach.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me know if I can provide more information or clarification.</p>
