Civic Hacknight #175 with Project Updates: BikeSpace & TTC Dashboard

Both BikeSpace and the TTC Dashboard project are long-running Civic Tech Toronto hacknight projects. BikeSpace crowd-sources and shares bike parking issues in Toronto, helping make bike parking safer and more accessible. The TTC Dashboard Project analyzes and shares key TTC data, helping Torontonians more easily understand their public transit system.

Come help us chip away at civic problems by combining technology with the power of our community. We've got everything you need for a perfect Tuesday night: a presentation to learn from, some projects to work on, and pizza (or other food) to snack on!

This evening's speakers will be Raphael Dumas, TTC Dashboard Project lead, and Ollie Sheldrick, the BikeSpace app Product Manager.
