The Backyard

HOPE ALLEY MARKET

THE BACKYARD

Parallel to the busy Chamberlayne Avenue is a residential alley used for back of house access and waste disposal. The locals are concerned on the current state of the alley as an attraction of violence, drug use, and prostitution. Because the alley was designed for utilitarian uses, there is very little incentive to improve the existing conditions. The alley's driveway is deteriorated along with fencing that needs improvement.
