I don't think getting into accidents and hitting children/pets is a little aspect of people's lives. Atleast 3-4 Mirrors were put up by residents of the ally and taken down numerous times. We were told the police took them down but nobody knows for sure. Also, I don't believe we are allowed to post speed limit signs. Just last week an elderly lady was taken to the hospital because she was struck by a vehicle going over 35mph down the ally.

1) The police and/or parking monitors should be forcing delivery trucks to use these alleys for their intended purpose. People shouldn't have to slalom between three double-parked vehicles along their four-block journey down Gay St.

2) Drivers should have enough sense and courtesy not to use these alleys as through streets. (e.g. When a church function lets out, a pilgrimage through the alley kicks off.) So, when sense and courtesy aren't adequate, we need to make rules. How about some 'No THRU TRAFFIC SIGNS' ?

This alley is used as a road by cars just going back to cruise down Gay street, Saint Agnes church
functions letting out etc. This can be resolved several ways. Post a "do not enter" sign. "local deliveries only" 2. Make the alley one way going West bound. 3. Putting in speed bumps. Another problem frankly is that people are living in converted carriage houses in the alley which were originally garages for the houses on Chestnut st. Permitting this was not a good idea and really trying to live on this alley does not make much sense. This occurred through illegal conversions some years back so it is hard to have much sympathy for residents back there. It was not intended to be a residential neighborhood.
