View Full Version : Mandatory Access to Back Alley?

So the house I'm currently living in has an odd back alley set up. Currently to access the back alley I have to drive 4-5 blocks past my "area" and use a back alley entrance for a different group of houses and drive all the way around (big circle taking 3-5 minutes extra every time). It appears there was originally plans for a back alley beside a park area a few houses down from me but was never actually built (ground flattened, hills/trees offsetting the flattened area). I want to get access to my garage without having to drive the retarded 3-5 minutes past my house to get to the alley.

Are there any city bylaws that state houses must have access to the alley directly behind them? It's a long shot but I'm sick of this stupid design.

on a side note, I could just start building my own alley!

I can't give you a concrete answer, but I doubt it. :dunno:

Maybe it's time for a new house! :rofl:

Call your aldermen, this is what they are for, answering to your needs. Does the garbage truck find a way to your garage area? Will a fire truck be able to get there in an acceptable time frame?
