Google has a small Trekker camera that is usually worn as a backpack, but can be mounted on other things like sleds, bikes, etc. They use it for pedestrianized areas, indoor places like museums, or places that cars otherwise can't get to or are impractical (very remote locations, historical sites, etc). I think it's really unlikely to see it for just 1.5 blocks of a small city. You used to be able to rent/borrow an official Trekker camera, but it looks like they discontinued that program. Best option now is for someone with the right equipment to upload typical third party coverage as has been done on many of our city trails.
I know the city has done street view of trails as an internship project. Google allows uploading of the data that they collected. The city owns the equipment for collecting the imagery.
I believe that is the coverage uploaded by this account
Which was done as a series of photo spheres. Other third party users have uploaded lower quality coverage of the trails, which annoyingly overlaps with the city's photos:
I'm not sure how a third party user (including the city) uploading coverage of Gaukel St would work, since Google already has official coverage there from when it was open to cars. I think the navigable photo sphere approach the city already used on trails would be allowed at least.
