Wasn't crossing, just climbing into the passenger side. I think a lot of people don't anticipate that there is an actual travel lane squeezed against the parked cars. Nevertheless, we should always look! 17th is bad for this as there really only is about 3/4 of a travel lane against the parked cars westbound. #1 place for collisions in Calgary and not very safe for those getting in their vehicle (guy killed last year in this circumstance in a hit and run) in front of Cibo).
