King Schoenfeld captured this lovely brick alley on film just after the city streets department reassessed the Skinker DeBaliviere alleys, after they were milled.
According to Alderman Lyda Krewson, for most of the alleys in Rosedale, there will be very limited asphalting and only in the worst spots.
The one block which will be paved is the 6000 block alley, between Westminster/Kingsbury, from DesPeres to Rosedale. “The streets department has done its best to improve the surfaces and still retain the bricks as most residents seem to want,” said Krewson.
