Is Calgary one of the only cities that does road work by excavating sections along the edge of the roadway (curb) and leaving them open for weeks at a time? The crews put up the occasional cone and those wood and re-bar "barricades" but it has always seemed like a bad idea to me and I have never seen similar construction in other cities.
How many vehicles every summer put a tire into the open area and potentially screw up their vehicles? This morning one of the cones indicating an open excavation portion along the curb on Memorial Drive was a quarter into the lane and was causing some very erratic swerving.
