I still think the city should have stuck it to the back-lane appropriators.

Quebec Law would award you property rights after having 'possession' of the corridor for 10 years. Possession has been found in court to be as simple as parking a vehicle on a parcel.
In Ontario the law is similar. 'Possessory Title' can be claimed after 10 years of 'Adverse Possession', and after 20 years, a claim for ownership can be made.
The City would probably run into legal challenges if it were to attempt eviction of adjacent landowners encroachment onto many of the back alleys.
Anyways, somewhat off topic.
