Alley Maintenance

Frankfort Street Department continues to declare “war on alleys,” systematically grading every alleyway in the City. We always will contend with alley potholes. With our own grader, our plan now is being able to maintain our alleys on a regular basis, year-round. Everyone’s patience in this matter has been most appreciated. Our goal is to get all of our alleys looking good again and to keep them that way.

There are some things we can do together to help maintain our alleys:

• Avoid making sharp turns with your vehicle whenever possible. When turned sharply, front tires tend to dig into the alley surface. Gradual turns are the key to reducing potholes at your location.
• Reduce the speed at which you travel down an alley. The less stone moved the better.
