You don't own any of the sidewalk, the city does. It sounds like it was only a one time thing tho, not happening every day so is it really that big of a deal?

Sorry I'm not understanding your question. It sounds like your asking about how much of the sidewalk an owner owns yet there's mention of parking issues. Or is there 2 issues here?

In terms of the actual sidewalk the City owns it plain and simple. Owners do not own sidewalks nor do they own boulevards.

You do not have a reserved parking spot on the street. Street parking is first come first serve.

if it's a one time thing, meh, who cares. but lets say the house has 5 cars, and always park in your spot. that's lame.

anyways as thenewgirl said, you don't have a reserved spot infront of your house.

Street parking is first come first serve for people living on the street.
If it's a party, then you can't do much? Why do you gotta be a bitch about it.
Do you ever have people over at your house?

Now if the neighbour has four cars as mine does (renters), it can get really annoying because there isn't enough parking. Though, we've calmly talked to our neighbours and told them we would appreciate it if they didn't park right in front of our house. This is just a simple courtesy. They don't have to accommodate our requests, but they do.

Just be friendly about it and usually they understand. I know how annoying it is when the spot infront of your house is taken. But, that's just how it rolls sometimes.

And I wouldn't mind parking three houses down, but I don't like to park in front of other peoples houses as I know how annoying it can be.

Sounds like if he's your neighbour your SOL'd. Whats the big deal about you parking down 3 houses? Are you handicapped or have any disabilities? If not, suck it up. He's ONLY done it three times. Imagine people living downtown. Park 3 fucking blocks sometimes.

If you can't stand it, maybe you should move into a house with your own driveway then you don't have to share with anybody.

This might help to know.

Quote:
The Neighbourhood Parking and Transportation Branch attends to the parking concerns of residents in the City of Vancouver. For information about residential parking, refer to the links listed on the left.

Residential Parking Regulations:
The City of Vancouver recognizes that residents have a priority in parking on their streets and have a few ways to help reduce outside parking pressures. One of the measures that applies to most streets in Vancouver is the Three Hour By-Law.

By-law No. 2849, Section 17.6(f) prohibits non-resident parking in front of any property for more than 3 hours between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

This by-law is meant to restrict commuters from regularly parking all day on residential streets. It is enforced on a complaint basis only, and usually only when a vehicle is found to be repeatedly in violation. The by-law is not meant to restrict legitimate visitors or area residents from parking on their own street. Residents may phone 3-1-1 for enforcement.

You actually dont own the first 5 ft of your lawn either from the sidewalk / curb. The first 5 feet is the property of the city, hence the street lamps

No, the City owns the streets so putting buckets, chairs etc to reserve a spot that doesn't even belong to you is illegal.

If you want a direct quote from the website see below.

http://vancouver.ca/engsvcs/parking/admin/faq.htm

"Can I reserve space on the street by putting buckets or cones etc. on the street?
No. City Streets are for public use and cannot be reserved by placing objects on the street. Items that are placed on City property may be removed by City of Vancouver staff."

you don't own the sidewalk. It's just common curtosy that you not park in front of a neighbours house/lawn. Now if theres a special accasion/ party at someones house, i don't mind if someone parks in front of my house. Hell, i don't mind if i have to walk a fucking block to my house. It's only for one night and i would expect my neighbours to let me do the same...

People park in front of my house every single day. I haven't been able to park there more then two or three times since Christmas. It used to bug me but whatever, first come first serve. Where I live after 3 days you can call the city and they'll come out and chaulk the tires. If they don't move within 72 hours of that they get towed. I have had cars towed in the past out of spite.

I've had the neighbors from across knock on my door to ask who's car is parked in front of their house.

I did not know nor was I very happy about it.

So really you can talk to them about it but they could just tell you to fuck off like I did.
