Now the last time I checked, our alley is as flat and level as it's been for the past 16 years and city trucks using our alley appear to be just as capable as before in navigating our alley. That said, it would appear to the average joe blow that this is a rather extravagant waste of tax payer dollars and especially so when one considers that the pea gravel they're putting down in our gravel alley is not recoverable as compared to the pea gravel they spread on the paved streets which is swept up in the spring.
With this one I'd suggest calling 311 with your address and they can pass it on to the Roads Maintenance department.
