The <br />signing was done on a section of sidewalk in <br />front of the alley. Councilor David Kelly, in <br />whose ward the improvements are located, was <br />unable to attend. In his absence, Mayor Piercy <br />conveyed his sentiments by noting that "the <br />West University neighborhood is a fun, urban <br />place to live, and fewer potholes and less junk <br />in the alleys will lead to less trash and more <br />beautification of the properties along the alleys." <br /> <br />Drix, the effervescent chair of the West <br />University Neighbors, displayed a horseshoe <br />that had been unearthed while preparing the Mill Street Alley for pawng. "A hundred years ago a horse <br />threw its shoe right here, "he said. "Now we're making our mark for future generations to see."
