@Alan. Here's how this is going to go down:

1. The City will acknowledge your complaint (done).
2. Then another City person will state that their equipment to fix the alley is being repaired.
3. Next the City will repost my comment with my personal email address (not sure why but they don't have anything better to do).
4. Finally, the City will close this request (they've done that with several other alley repair requests) hoping you don't notice.
5. Then the cycle begins again.
6. Do-loop, rinse and repeat. Good luck!

And there you go! The City "busy" at work reposting my comments. That's the only "work" that will be done with regard to your problem.

Note to the City: So you've had your fun now! Please get back to work and get the real job done!

Your concern has been received and forwarded to the Department of Public Works (CRS# 20020932258) so that proper inspection and handling can take place accordingly. This team has had problems with equipment breakage in regards to motor graders that break and need repair and may have broken again and back in the shop. Also members of the Alley Team are engaged in leaf and/ or snow removal services right now. Regardless, please know the City of Richmond is endeared to addressing your alley repair needs as soon as possible and this case file is still under review and being continually monitored for servicing. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at 804-646-7000. We appreciate your communication that helps us in “Building The Best Richmond” together.

Please do not close this issue until it has been addressed. This system is meant to track repair progress, not the progress of the city dumping it into a meaningless, opaque work order system that seems to never result in repairs being made. Please attach photos of the repaired work next time you attempt to close the issue.

This request has been received and submitted to the City agencies for review and appropriate action.
