Alley Access Change Process

My neighborhood has problems with our alley. What can we do?
 
The City of Mesa offers residents a new alley closure program called the Alley Access Change Program to gate alleys. Gating your alley requires one or two neighbors to initiate and complete the process with the Neighborhood Outreach Office. Click here for more information.

Abandonment Process

General Guidelines to Abandon Right-of-way, Easements and Alleys, per Arizona Revised Statutes, Sections 28-7205 and 28-7214.  When right-of-way (easement, alley, etc.) is abandoned, the title to the abandoned portion vests in the owners of the abutting land.  Effective July 21, 2004, the fees are as follows and are non-refundable.
