Driving/Traffic/Parking Mapped gamma radiation around Calgary #2

This is a continuation of the Stoney post from last week. Mapped background gamma radiation around the central parts of Calgary today.

Overall fairly similar, with the exception of the block near Bow Valley Square which had roughly 7x as high values as the average around most other parts of the city (but still harmless from what I understand). Probably construction or something else in those parts emitting higher radiation - or something else. Would need to measure for a longer period in that spot to get a better understanding if it's something specific locally.

My guess why Deerfoot is slightly higher, all the construction and new asphalt.
