Despite two wheels being on the sidewalk, there appears to be ample room for a wheelchair/stroller to get by, and therefore, unlikely for enforcement action. If I recall correctly, prior to the LRT construction, there were actually paved parking spaces between the sidewalk and the building at this location.

Is this really the case? It seems like enforcement is highly erratic here. A friend of mine got a ticket for parking on the sidewalk when his back bumper was hanging less than 6 inches over the sidewalk in my driveway.
Other's have told me, "wheels on sidewalk == ticket".
Do you know what the actual policy is?
I actually tried to call in a pickup truck in the Spur Line Crossing plaza with a hitch blocking more than half the trail.
@Markster - I too got the joke and link. But from an enforcement stand point, unless things have changed, I don't think they would of gotten a ticket.
@danbrotherston - It would be highly unlikely for me to issue a ticket with 6 inches overhanging. Our policy was at least 1/2 blocked, two wheels on the sidewalk*, or clearly blocking the safe passage of a wheelchair.
Here is the clarification on "two wheels" policy:
