Open Sidewalks Work Session / "Remote Mapping Party"
Details
Code for the Carolinas has started an Open Sidewalks project in partnership with the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology at the University of Washington. The project involves coding maps and metadata about features that make streets accessible to pedestrians--especially features that are important for pedestrians who face barriers to mobility and use wheelchairs or walkers. We're going to start by mapping Downtown Raleigh! This area is an important hub for public transit, state government, and recreation.
At these bi-weekly sessions, we work together to complete our project of mapping pedestrian access features for Downtown Raleigh.
Even if you're new to this project and/or civic tech volunteering, you're welcome to join the meeting. Visitors are always welcome and no technical skills are needed.
Meetings are on the Jitsi platform and the link is provided before each meeting. If you will be joining on mobile, install the Jitsi app in advance https://jitsi.org/downloads/ That said, this session will involve some work on a Miro board, and participation on mobile may be limited.
