The thing about #alleys is that where a sidewalk intersect with them is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION than when a sidewalk intersects with a road.
Sidewalks + roads = #CurbCuts

When I was giving a lecture in Krakow, Poland, I was in a parking structure that had half floors. I stopped at a half floor, “half” expecting a short ceiling. But it was like every other level.
