The crappiest part is the area around Langevin bridge because you're right by the Homeless Hilton. Sometimes you'll see a few people around, but there is always a cop sitting by the shelter when it's busy, and I've never gotten hassled. That said, I ride my bike and just take the path on the North side of the river instead and skip all that. Congrats on the place!
the scumbag factor has really lessened since the closing of the Cecil and Beerland and the actual patrolling of the area by Calgary Police. Used to be sketchy as hell.
