So after a few years of struggling entering/leaving our garage we found out that there is no parking allowed, but it’s kind of weird..
the section says
27-1 - " No owner or operator of a vehicle shall stop or park or permit the stopping or
parking of the vehicle on either side of any alley in front of or within one and one
half metres of a driveway or garage entrance entering into the alley."
I actually got a picture to explain this..

So it would seem to me that backalleys will not being parking zones? I’m for this of course, since my neighbour and I both struggle super hard to get into and out of our garages. We can only ticket/tow the person 1.5M from our garage, but why, we should be able to complain about access for our neighbor as well? Right?
I looked into it because there was a car sitting for 2+ weeks that wasn’t moved and just was in our way every day I ended up emailing Calgary parking and seeing if we can do anything about it, we had it ticketed and the next day it moved, now that we know we can have people ticketed and or towed we have started to leave notes, but it seems to not work.
I’ve made a photo,

1. Pink box house 1 can ticket
Red Box house 2 can ticket
Yellowishbox house 3 can ticket.. etc etc
2. With the overlap you can see it should be a no parking zone, now the purple car makes it very difficult to go into the the green car is the owner of house 3 so it’s technically legally allowed to be parked their even though it isn’t?
I’m going to e-mail Calgary parking tomorrow to find out if anything can be done? Can i get my a signed notice from my neighbour that he doesn’t want people parking illegally there?
They won’t give a ticket to the cars unless the owner says it’s okay.. Kinda weird
Anyways posting this up because i feel people with alleyways should be aware of the law and i’m assuming 90%+ of people do not know..
