Guidelines for Mapping Alleys in Illinois:
Guidelines for Mapping Alleys:


Generally speaking, only residential alleys should be mapped, and only if they are the locally accepted destination for parking at or near a residence. Alleys should only function as a starting point or final destination, not as a thoroughfare.

In the city of Chicago and the suburbs, do not delete already mapped alleysOutside the Chicagoland area, alleys may be deleted if they are not necessary for proper routing.
If an alley does not function in any of the above capacities, it is acceptable to delete the alley.   


If an alley is to be mapped or updated, be sure to nudge the [[User:Hawkeygoal/IL_Pages/House_Numbers|house numbers]]

If an alley is to be mapped or updated, be sure to nudge the house numbers
