You may have noticed some alley and street improvements throughout the City of Carnation since January. Our CED Utility Manager reached out to Benjamin Asphalt, a local asphalting company that resides in Carnation, to conduct some alley maintenance. Throughout the past 5 months, many other developments in addition to alley work have taken place.
The following enhancements took place from January – June 2023 thanks to the hard work of the people who make up Benjamin Asphalt and our CED Utility team. We sincerely thank the City Council for approving these projects.
- Alley Grading:
Every single alley in the City – with the exception of Alley D – was graded and leveled.

Alley J, behind Red Pepper Pizza, is currently in the process of getting paved.
