RE: update - The erosion continues to worsen along the apron and further up into the alley. The rut is now 8-10 inches deep, getting longer and wider. Thank you for your attention.

Update from Pavement Maintenance: alley repaired 11/17/16

While I would like to say, "Thanks" and let this issue go, I must say that the 'repair' is, at best, mediocre. This half-hearted effort will only wash out again with the next downpour. Simply dumping some gravel mix and haphazardly blading it over is not repairing it. The mess of loose sand and gravel that washed into the 60th street was just left at the bottom of the apron, instead of being scooped up into the apron to fill the holes, and the new stuff is so uneven that it still presents a hazard for pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
Please have a supervisor examine this issue again and have it repaired properly. Why can the apron not be paved?

Thank you for reporting this issue to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete. We have forwarded the details you have provided to the Community Services department so that they may investigate and take any necessary action. We appreciate your help! Sincerely, Mayor's Action Center

Thank you for reporting this issue to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete. While the City will continue to fill potholes and blade unpaved alleys as needed, it will no longer provide any treatment that is solely to decrease the dust produced by passing vehicles on these alleys. An option to help alleviate this problem is to have your neighbors join into a Special Assessment District (S.A.D.) to have the alley paved by the City. If a majority of residents in a specific area agree to join, a S.A.D. will be created and funded by the residents affected by the improvements, in this case a paved alley.
