DIY-Greenwood Alley Makeover Today
Jim Jackson and a bunch of his neighbors that share the alley between Dayton and Phinney 95th to 97th are collaborating on a project with FeetFirst to improve the conditions of their shared alley today. (more info in attachment)
As our workshops mention, improving alley conditions is an important step toward sidewalks. Nearly every block in our study area has an alley, some more visible than others J. Improving the alley not only encourages more neighbors to use their alley for parking, but it puts more eyes on the alley and can establish or strengthen relationships between neighbors that share the alley.
Best of all, though, is that the alley then becomes a better place to walk. Stop by and check out their project.

Kate,
This is a little project that sorta came together while playing fetch with my dog in the alley.
I mentioned it to Lisa, and she decided to put it "out there". Do you want to add it to "the blog"?
