In one northeast Calgary neighbourhood, lawn strips between homes have given way to cement parking pads.
And at least one Saddleridge resident doesn’t like it.
“We need to see more green space,” Greg Steiner told Global News.
“When people overuse their residential neighborhood for the purpose of parking cars, I have an issue with that.”
According to a city bylaw, it’s against the rules.
“I’m not sure how they got permission to cement or pave right to the curb,” said Councillor Jim Stevenson.
“That’s city property, not theirs,” added Stevenson.
Many homeowners contacted by Global News declined to comment.
But one did, citing a lack of parking on his street.
“They have five cars for one house. Where are they going to park?”
Stevenson told Global News he’s committed to solving the issue in the near future.
