Bury all power lines along this alley, perhaps even building a wide tunnel under the alley for freight deliveries via electric cart to the basement level. (Convert the downtown firehall into a staging area for accepting neighborhood freight deliveries.) Dress up the backsides of buildings along the alley; provide back door entries: lay a nice brick 'floor' or use colored concrete along this lane; attach ornate lighting to buildings along its entire length to brighten it up; find space for at least one pocket park; and after the work is done stand on the south end of the alley (next to the Old Broadway) and note that the view to the north is terminated by the steeple of St. Mary's Cathedral which is framed perfectly down the alleyway - light up the steeple for an even lovelier night-time view! (Zandbroz might even add a neon "Z" to the south side of its wonderful store!)
