Phoenix community looks for help to qualify for gating problematic alleyway

PHOENIX — A North Phoenix community concerned about the crime in their alleyways still struggles to find safety, despite their coordinated effort. The barrier to keep their neighborhood from gating off their alleyway can be measured by a gap in the wall.

Garcia-Fellenz says it’s typical to wake up to trash in their alleyway daily. As part of Lake Biltmore’s Block Watch, she reports the foot traffic of those who are homeless has left some homes vulnerable to burglary.

Ultimately, the city says it’s the responsibility of the surrounding community to keep their alleyway clean. She says she has nearly every homeowner’s signature. However, those signatures will stay stagnant as she explained they don’t qualify for the program, due to a gap in the wall about 120 feet long.
