OpenSidewalk project(s)
Resumen
Many routing application providers can give a detailed route from start point to destination— except for any non-motorized, pedestrian leg of a journey! The OpenSidewalks project addresses the fact that most cities lack open, consistently formatted, readily available, sidewalk data that supports routing for non-motor travel. As a result of the data crowdsourced by the OpenSidewalks project, we can furnish applications like AccessMap (found at accessmap.io).
