Broadway Alley, NYC
Pleatst troch ElliottPlack op 21 desimber 2015 yn it English. Lêst bywurke op 11 jannewaris 2016.A relative of mine recently moved to the Rose Hill neighborhood of New York City, NY. As any mapper would, I was looking around the neighborhood on OpenStreetMap and found a missing street!

Broadway Alley piqued my interested because it is notably the only unpaved road left in New York City, and because it is an alley in a city with very few alleys.

The alley remains a named street because it has a single address, 8 Broadway Alley, as evidenced by the NYC building and address import. The alley is also gated on each side, as it is a private road. Suffice to say, I added it to the map, have a look.
Update 11 Jan 2016: My friend took ten photos of the alley and shared them. Check out the gallery on Dropbox

Thanks Ian.
I found that by doing a OSM Turbo query, there are indeed very few alleys in the Manhattan borough.
