Let's Map Columbia Heights and Southern Petworth!

Are you new to editing OpenStreetMap? This event will introduce you to surveying street level geographic features and teach you how to enter them into OpenStreetMap. It's a great event to bring your kids, young or old. It's a great event for non-technical folks who are interested in their community.

The Columbia Heights and southern Petworth neighborhoods (and neighboring Park View) are lacking a lot of businesses and other important places, so let's get them on the map! And there's a lot of new development too. We'll be walking around and putting things on the map, so it'll be a nice opportunity to get outside and explore a bit. Wear good walking shoes! And bring a friend!

We're meeting at the Petworth Public Library, which is a couple blocks from the Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro (green/yellow) and close to a lot of buses and Bikeshare too.

There's also lots of good coffee, lunch and bar options nearby, so might be a fun way to see a new neighborhood if you haven't been!
