Growing up in Calgary, I always hated people who parked unnecessarily on the roads. Very disruptive to my cycling, skateboarding, and street hockey games.

Developer has to pay for sidewalk repairs for the first 10 years (maybe 15). After that it reverts to the city. The city used to split the cost 50/50 with the homeowner but this was changed about 10 years ago so now the city pays all of it.
