But, be ready for a ton of work to get it through.
Advice? See an attorney.
Yes! Good answer. It is amazing how many problems you can solve with that tool.
Then, several days later...invite them to dinner and enjoy yourselves with them.
A week after that, sit down and talk to them rationally about the issue.
All of that will save you a lot of stress, a lot of legal fees...and it will make a friend and probably solve the problem.
Just my advise. Merry Christmas.

"I along with several neighbors are shocked that the desires of one resident trumps the concerns of an entire block."
This happens in the workplace a lot. I am passed being shocked by it but it still is amazing. In my experience in the workplace it is always a bit.er lady, rarely a man.
I say chalk it up to "one of those things" and go on with your life. You know life is not fair.
"Free Republic - your information source for all medical and legal questions."
Yup. Heck, I say just nuke the woman's house. That way there'll be a big alley to drive down.
Merry Christmas
Check with emergency services for their access plan to given address's that are served by the alley. Then present the findings to a lawyer and start civil process against the city to reopen the alley and nullify the previous ruling.
I went to a call of a man putting a fence down the middle of a road, he told me that his deed called his property line "to the middle of the road" The fence still stands. The party on the other side had to add a new side to the road on his property to pass. Seems the neighbor would not assist in taking care of the road and the man that put the fence up made his own road and fenced him out.
Check to see where your property line is and if it is to the center of the road the city can not close it.
Let go of it for a week or so and hope you don't get socks for the second Christmas in a row......
Of course everyone hate lawyers until one is needed to protect your rights or legitimate interests. See a local young, aggressive, hungry lawyer and ask about the rights of ingess and egress and preemptive rights of access to property.
I have this strange growth its brwon and has 3 hairs on it can you help?
Thanks...and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours. May the true spirit of the season, His Spirit of love and service, fill your lives and uphold you throughout the year.
I agree with you. If the alley is closed and the thread author's property backs up to the alley, there's a good chance he can claim ownership of that portion of the alley to the center line. Fence it off and make the old bit,,er I mean lady's access Zero.
Yep.
I am mad, disappointed, frustrated and really am feeling short-changed. Any advice appreciated
move to the country...you're welcome, and merry christmas :D
You could put super-glue in the lock and then she can't get out.
I agree after all of this and her verbal abuse to people working in the alley and complaining about our old beat up Chevrolet truck parked in front of house, I am really gun shy of moving to a neighborhood where a lot of neighbors are around.
