What is the name of your state? CA
Recently the department of transportation in my city posted my side of the street no parking at all times. The issue here is my lot has four feet of flat, concrete pad abutting the street as determined by a professional survey a number of years ago. This is in an older hillside neighborhood without curbs or sidewalks between the street and the pad. I have used this area for parking for the last twelve years. Should the city be required to buy back the land since it has now become part of the public right-of-way and I can no longer effectively use it? My neighbors have commented that this has negatively affected our property values.
