The project involved repaving the alley, making it a pedestrian walkway, and installing new street lights.[1] The new look alley was reopened to the public in March 2007 and a ceremony was held in April 2007 to celebrate the reopening. The alley is now known for its engraved Western and Chinese writing, including by such writers as John Steinbeck, Maya Angelou, Ferlinghetti, and Kerouac himself.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite news | author=Nolte, Carl|authorlink=Carl Nolte | title=Kerouac Alley has face-lift | url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/03/30/BAG4NOUONC1.DTL | newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle | date=March 30, 2007 | accessdate=24 September 2010}} 2. ^1 {{cite news | author=Nolte , Carl| title=Kerouac Alley is restored with cheer | url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/04/01/BAGQAOVMGV1.DTL | newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle | date=April 1, 2007 | accessdate=24 September 2010}} External links
