For whatever reason Calgary staggers all their projects and leaves roads unpaved or curbs ready for cement for a couple of weeks of protruding manholes, bumpy transitions (nearly always poorly done), cones, etc. I'm sure they have an explanation but the reality is that it can be done much, much faster with lessoning the inconveniences on commuters.

I think the problem here is how thin the City spread itself this year. They’ve started construction everywhere and are maybe optimistic they can finish before winter hits.
