We had a meeting and some of thought it would be a good idea to contact you for help.

Alleys, driveways and/or retaining walls are private property. They belong to you, the property owner; the City does not own or maintain them. It is your responsibility to maintain them in a safe and sanitary condition. All abutting owners, generally, have the right to use the entire length of an alley way or driveway (This is written in your deed.)
All costs for repairs or reconstruction to an alleyway or driveway are shared by those property owners having deed rights and otherwise for the use of said alleyways, driveways, and retaining walls. Even if only parts of an alley, driveway or retaining wall need repair, all responsible property owners must share the cost of the repair.
Thank you. (mb)

They used our driveways for years causing a large amount of damage. Now we the resident have to consume the added cost of what a responsible so call professional City facility did. This hardly seems fair. Perhaps this matter needs further research with some other facility.
Thank you for your input.
