Last calendar week the Los Angeles Time created an interactive map showing the cleanliness of LA's streets. The Where are L.A.'s Dirtiest Streets? map shows the levels of litter, illegal dumping together with weeds on all of Los Angeles' roads using information from the mayor's Clean Streets initiative.
At the fourth dimension I idea that the LA Times map had potential to live on a useful tool for the city's sanitation department. However it turns out that the LA Bureau of Sanitation has created its ain maps from the data. The Clean Streets Index allows yous to explore the information used inwards the LA Times map inwards to a greater extent than item together with also explains how that information is used past times the City to help construct clean the city's streets.
Where the LA Times map entirely provides a visualization of each street's overall cleanliness marking the Clean Streets Index has mapped visualizations of the cleanest together with dirtiest areas, areas of persistent littering together with areas amongst regular illegal dumping. By using the information to highlight hot-spots of illegal dumping together with persistent littering the Bureau of Sanitation is meliorate able to deploy enforcement tactics together with target resources inwards the city.
