landlocked property, city won't put in driveway.

[Justin Brown]

I just bought a property that doesn't have a driveway and is off of a main road. The property between the road and my house is owned by the city.  The past tenants have been parking in a vacant lot next to mine. The property was built in 1925 and is in a small coastal city. The property is currently landlocked. I want the city to pay for the driveway that is on their land, since my property is landlocked. They said that i can put one in, but they won't do it. Is there anything I can do about this? I feel like the city should pay for this since it is their property, not mine, and it blocks my property. It's only like 20feet. The city owns everything up to my front porch. The entire front yard is the city's.
