ok so for w/e reason I sometimes parked all crooked assed on the ...what i thought was my driveway where I am allowed to park.
my car was facing <<<<<that way. BUT was on that driveway..and was not blocking eithe sidewalk or the road...and I got a parking ticket.
saying some bs like "parked on the boulevard"
keep in mind this is a little residential street....

I think that , that piece of land belongs to the city and not to you.

sipewalk? hahaha.. dont pay it

It does belong to the city....BUT...if there is a dip in the curb (to allow a car to get in) and there is no grass (ie. is paved or gravel) then it is your driveway and not the boulevard at all.


I've had to deal with a similar situation about 2 years ago because our 3rd driveway had weeds growing through all the gravel..

i've never heard of that before...my parents most of the time park the corolla like that, by the sidewalk and never got a ticket yet...
i say fight it bro...how much was the ticket?

its only $20 but...this is bullshit.
i mean ppl have their shit boxes parked all the time...even crossing the sidewalk...and I park not crossing nothing..and this fag thinks he just ticket me... i woulda had a few words for him/her if I saw him giving me the ticket...

woah thats weird.. yeah its always park the tercel there too all the time... thats weird that you got a ticket I thought it was always part of your driveway..... weird

In Guelph, thats your property, and you can park there as long as you're not blocking the sidewalk, or part of the road.

We had our driveway redone this past summer, that part we had to pay for, but the curb, and section of road that was old and mangled was covered by the city.

I say go fight it, its only $20, but its the principle of the matter...

Yeah, unfortunately, it is the city...

Looks like the By-law ppl picked on you!

I'd goto the By-law office to see what u can do. You can always fight it or get it dismissed.

ok well all of you are wrong... its perfectly fine to park like that UNLESS someone calls the city and complains. then they will come out and give you a ticket... find out which asshole called and then slash all 4 of their tires. or atleast put superglue in all their doorlocks which is what i did. good luck

r u sure about the calling??^^^^
cuz if thats the case...
I know who exactly it is..that called.

Serg, just call the number on the ticket and explain to them what happened...they usually will just tell u to throw the ticket out...they will usually let the first parking ticket u get slide.

go for like first attendance meeting or something forsure u wont have 2 pay it .... like wtf was the cop thinking??

Aye, some asshole called about my brother's car that was parked on the street. Our street however, is a couldesac (spelling?! :P ) so the only people that ever drive on it, are those that live here. Which is 6 houses. Some jackass called it in, and my bro got a ticket left on his window in the wee hours of the morning.

Ironically enough it's these same people that invite their entire family over for weekend, and our couldesac turns into a freak'n parking lot, I'm lucky to get out. Hmm, I think I'll be making a phone call next time that happens...

let the air out of thier tires....

that's what we did to the "new neighbours" for calling the cops...

they moved after living on our street for less than a year and left a letter that said thanks for the hospitality

Ask the ticket specialist, Alex. JK :tounge:

But like mentioned above, that part is considered the City's property, Sergei. See what you can do with it by taking it to the City....

use that pic as evidence too!!!

thats my artistic drawing..
and i will try talking to the city

thnx for all your input!

dude, if they end up charging u cuz u parked on there, say fine, since its not my driveway, im not gunna shovel it in the winter and u guys can deal with it and jus pile it up so u can jus get in and out but thats bs, i live in brooklin, a really small town and i see soooo many ppl do that, it also protects the house from someone tryin to steal other cars...
