We, the undersigned residents of Sunset Cliffs Park, oppose the unnecessary paving of our historic dirt alleys. These alleys have remained unpaved for over 50 years, preserving the unique charm, environmental benefits, and walkability of our neighborhood.

Why We Oppose Paving:

• Historic Preservation: Paving would erase a defining feature of our Cottage District.
• Environmental Impact: Dirt alleys provide better drainage and reduce runoff, preventing erosion and flooding.
• Community Character: The natural alleys enhance our neighborhood’s rustic, pedestrian-friendly feel.
• Traffic & Safety: Unpaved alleys slow down vehicles, creating safer spaces for walking, biking, and social interaction.

Call to Action:
We urge the city to reconsider this decision and explore alternatives that maintain our neighborhood’s historic integrity while addressing any maintenance concerns.
