The last time the G7 was here Bush flew directly over my house with his posse of choppers.

Very likely that to be the case. We don't really have that level of hotel here and there's no US Embassy. Good riddance.

The crazy winds yesterday made me wonder when the heck is the City going to sweep the streets?? Beltline was a huge dust bowl, walking on foot is not pleasant at all.

You can look up when certain streets will be cleaned on the city website. There have been lots of street cleaners out, saw a bunch in Crescent Heights yesterday.

My understanding is the areas that get cleaned first shift year to year. I know my community was done first last year and is seemingly last this year.

That's definitely true, my street was early May last year, this year it's mid June.
Yep, it varies from year to year. Mine was done right after all the rain was done, which is unfortunate as it would have washed away all the dust and mud streaks.

I haven't seen any sweepers, but I'm also never out at night lately. Alright I'll postpone my frustration for a month, seems like Beltline should be getting swept in the next few days.

What would the suburban people say if the urban areas were done first: Clutches pearls.

The suburbanites would be even more mad to know the bike lanes were done already too lol.

I couldn't find it either. I looked at four other news articles about it and none of them had the address, other than being in Foothills industrial.
I was going to say there's already a facility in Foothills Industrial, the Calgary Soccer Centre. It looks like this is a new dome/upgrade to that site.
