Edmonton has thousands of kilometers of unnamed alleys and also a need for more funds. What do you think about an "adopt an alley program" where people could pay $10,000 to have a block of alley named after them or a family member?

@trevorhayden I love the idea... further it could be an adopt an alley program whereby companies could become responsible for general upkeep of the same -- assisting adjacent landowners with landscape and hardscape features.

Somewhat tangentially someone recently got their name on a new hospital elsewhere in Alberta for putting in approx. 1/25th of what the government spent.

So using that benchmark the 10,000 should then also require over 250,000 of government spending on the same block.
