San Pedro resident agrees: Fix the alleys
San Pedro resident Joyce Hall sent this e-mail in response to my blog item here and in the print edition about the condition of the alleys in her community.
Hi Larry,
Just read your article in the DB on your ride along.
I agree - I have tried for over 7 years to get our alley repaved. It is always the same story - even though I have papers saying it was going to be done - go figure.
We are on an alley and they are always filling the pot holes and it is a waste of time and money. The trash trucks come down weekly and then the asphalt is broken again.
I live in lower South Shores so we are in the high "rent" district so to speak. Just last week I called to have some graffiti removed from a wall.
Anyway - I agree with you. Thanks."

I guarantee you the graffiti there isn't related to the potholes lol (which was Larry's point). That said who wouldn't want to see better kept alleys in town.
they are just alleys, alleys are always like that every where. we nee to put the city money to better use then pave the alleys thats a waste of time and money. paving the alleys will do nothing in time the trash trucks will damage the alleys again. lets use the money on getting more police and fire and schools.
