Doltons First Paved Alley Courtesy of Local Residents
Dolton now boasts its first paved alley on the block between Ingleside and Ellis from 144th to 145th streets. Residents funded the project with a per family contribution after village officials offered to prepare the base, with Bob Harms completing the blacktop under contract. Trustee Ralph Berg notes the program began about three years ago to aid homeowners willing to share paving costs.
