Phoenix City Council asked to budget $750,000 in neighborhood block grant funds to expand gated alley program
Phoenix leaders will soon be asked increase the budget to lock down more alleys.In 2017, after a man walking through an alley jumped a backyard fence and exposed himself to children, Phoenix launched a pilot project. Residents in two neighborhoods installed locked gates to block public access to alleys behind their homes. Since then, 200 alley segments have been gated.
