Changeset: 61893428
This is not an alley. Mirroring the city block just west, there is a private driveway at the west end and a fenceline running through the middle at the east end.

Rather than removing the alley - you could have changed it to a driveway and added the fence. It's likely someone will add it back as an alley. Can you make the change or do you need help?

I don’t know how to make that change but I think that change would confuse the situation as other driveways in the immediate neighborhood are not shown (such as one block west). The driveway lies on private property and provides no through access. Should someone want to add it back as an alley I would hope they would note all this as well as the reasoning behind the change to begin with.

I would change it to highway=service + service=driveway. That way someone is unlikely to change it to an alley. BTW - Amazon is starting to add driveways in OSM. They are looking to use private individuals to deliver packages, much like the Uber and Lyft gig economy.
