It's possible these places got an exception to to the really steep grade on the alley. It would have made it very difficult to do.
The land use by-law allows new front drives on lots that have a lane only if at least 50% of the lots on the same street front already have front driveways. If less than 50% have front driveways you cant add a new driveway and if you have an existing driveway you can retain it as long as it doesn't increase in size.
