Get Outta My Bike Lane


Last twelvemonth Nathan Rosenquist released an interactive map which allowed cyclists inward New York to submit photographs of cars parked illegally inward cycle lanes. Cars inward Bike Lanes NYC no longer appears to be but Nathan's code lives on at GitHub.

Nathan's code has been used to create Cars inward Bike Lanes Boston and Things inward Bike Lanes Denver. The novel Things inward Bike Lanes Denver map is a articulation projection from Bicycle Colorado together with BikeDenver. They desire cyclists inward Denver to written report obstructions on cycle lanes to the interactive map. Adding photos together with details of cycle lane obstructions to the Things inward Bike Lanes map volition assistance Denver Public Works lay areas which are oftentimes obstructed. It could too assistance the urban centre proceed cycle lanes opened upwards for cyclists.

Cars inward Bike Lanes (CIBL) is "a browsable geographic database for crowd-sourcing traffic violation reports ... (and) ... tin hold upwards adapted to document whatever assort of observable traffic violations inside a defined geographic area." So far CIBL seems to convey been merely used to written report obstructions to cycle lanes. It plainly could hold upwards used inward many other contexts every 2nd well. I'm certain at that spot are many dissimilar ways it could hold upwards used to crowd-source citizen concerns to local government.
