Slowly but surely getting there. Looks like only some minor work left to be done.

Exactly. If we deleted all 'not-strictly-on-topic' posts, most threads would be about 6 posts long (and rather boring)
Gates are off. They probably aren't on because of the scattered tape all over.
There are no lights or indicators that I noticed on the Urban SCs in Ottawa.
When I was there a few days ago, they still seemed to be missing the transformer on the other side of the laneway close to the parkade - where the remaining fence is.
The rest of the work looks done, I'm sure when that gets placed, it'll be quick.
I'll swing by tonight to see if there was any more progress on my way home.

Same...
And I may have been incorrect regarding the transformer not being there...
The fencing is gone across the driveway, and that poured slab there may instead just be a hydro vault...
In that case, aside from the light post that's still laying down and blocking half of the chargers, they could be ready to go very soon!
(OR they are waiting for a transformer... who knows? haha)

So.... "urban" style may not necessarily mean limited to 72kW.

Can someone take a picture of the spec label on both the stalls and the Supercharger cabinets so we can inspect their maximum output current?

Given the way these urban chargers are spaced / located, any difference in “charging strategy” (ie which open charger to use)?
In a sense, yes - there's no need to look for A vs B as the urban chargers are not paired. You give up a bit of capacity though compared with traditional SCs.
Tesla opens new ‘Urban Supercharger station’ in Chicago suburb – but with full charge rate
Interestingly, Tesla owners report that the station isn’t limited to 72 kW and that they can achieve a rate of 120 kW in the right conditions, like regular long-distance Superchargers.

I took pics of the cabinet specs in Laval, and pedestal specs in Ottawa - both clearly say 200A maximum output.
The Urban-style cabinets and stalls I've seen in the wild are limited to 200A @ 410V = 82kW. In practice you'd never ever see 82kW... you can't hit the maximum possible voltage AND be drawing maximum amperage at the same time. We'll have to await further details on the new SC that has appeared with apparently higher outputs. In the mean time, everyone should be checking the spec labels on Urban style SCs when you see them!
