These are weird ones. Is the land not useful for anything else? Seems land within city limits would be too valuable for this.
I seem to recall something I watched a few years ago where they were showcasing a type of urban wind turbine. Basically, they were installing them into the street light pole (which they explained a huge portion is just empty space) and it would contribute towards the energy required by the light.

Rather than solar, what if they incorporated this by roads and take advantage of the wind coming from vehicles? Is the repair too high if they are damaged? Is Calgary weather with the cold and ice something that increases the risk of the units breaking?
