    I've heard it's mandated by the city to have that drainage in between triple driveways.



    That's a very pricey solution unless you're already having other concrete work done at the same time, then you don't have to pay for minimum concrete truck charges.
    Cheapest solution (under $100) are rubber pavers that look like stone. Easy to cut to size and quick to remove (especially if they have to come re-do your sidewalks in new a development).
    I've also seen paving stones used but most have sunk down probably from being driven over and need to be fixed.
    Yeah best isn't cheap

    So I called Parking Authority and just let them know I’m upset with the driveway size. They said they will send someone out in 20 days to measure it.

    Easy peazy, also I’ve heard from others in the neighbourhood this guy is a little coo coo upstairs.

    According to the City of Calgary's myProperty info the house got approved for a secondary basement suite. Perhaps widening of the driveway was part of the development permit in 2015?

    Another angle you could try is with the HOA. My understanding is that every homeowner was issued a credit certificate upon possession to be used towards landscaping materials including a tree for the front yard which must be completed within one year of possession. This front yard has no tree and may be violating the community by-laws. Unfortunately I can't find a copy of the HOA by-laws.

    What you've done is now entered into a pissing contest with someone who is a little cocoo. Not the smartest thing, especially over something as trivial as this. Dude could make his business to call bylaw on all of his neighbours out of spite, complain about anything or hell, even make up BS complaints.

    These people are best left alone, unless of course they are doing something thats really wrong, like loud parties til 3am every weekend.

    Well, we shall see if anything comes of it in 20 days.

    If nothing then I will leave it be.

    In the neighbourhood I’m in right now ( Auburn Bay ) my Cul-de-sac has a travel trailer every 5 houses. No one care except when I left my work trailer on my driveway THEN we got a complaint from bylaw. Honestly I could care less, it was nice storing a 33’ car hauler on my driveway for free all winter. Had to buy 3 months storage these last couple months though just to keep these neighbour a happy.

    We brought our 5th wheel come from the lake to get some warranty work done.... pretty sure I’m going to get a complaint about that! Bahahah

    Good to see you're staying in the burbs. That way I don't have to worry about you being that neighbor.

    Personally there is quite a difference between a widen driveway with 3-4 shitty vehicles on it versus my driveway with a beautiful car hauler and fancy Mercedes

    Hypocrisy is a key component of white trash culture. Maybe you fit in better with your neighbor than you think lol.

    You actually did end up calling to complain? Jesus Christ... I don’t want to use the “he was there first” mentality, but you’re treading on pretty thin ice with a stupid move like that.

    Sarcasm works when the thing you are pretending to be is different than the thing you actually are.

    Why did you buy the house if this upsets you so much? Same thing as people who move into a farming community and complain it smells like cattle - douches.
