"Shifting our perspective from vehicular circulation to incremental habitation completely changes the math of a fractured grid. We don't need a fully continuous alley to unlock value; every fraction of a lot recovered is a win...a neighborhood can bypass a “holdout” problem by pairing internal pockets of reclaimed alley space with fence-line pedestrian passages. Cities across the US already have a history of this infrastructure."
