If you put the little man on Gaukel, you still see the old gas bar and cafe that was there before the tower as well as some of the early construction of the LRT although that is likely because Gaukel is now pedestrianized and they haven't had a smaller vehicle take photos yet.
That's about the most recent coverage you can have on Gaukel since the demolition and closure of Gaukel were close together. The portion of Gaukel/Halls Ln that is open has relatively up to date coverage.
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.
