OpenSidewalks

Advocating for an intuitive OSM pedestrian standard that facilitates accessible routing.

[City of Los Angeles Department on Disability @LACDOD]

Wildfires, flash floods, and earthquakes are part of our lives in California. If you were asked to leave your home in an emergency as a person with a disability, would you know what to do? (1/3)

[OpenSidewalks @OpenSidewalks]

@penorman @pwramsey Oh yeah, and we actually hosted, free of charge, the very meeting in which this talk took place, to support the #cugos and local #openstreetmap community in the ways we can.

[OpenSidewalks @OpenSidewalks]

@penorman @pwramsey Perhaps in your comment you may have overlooked industry giants with trillions of dollars who scrape #OSM on the daily and synchronize *no* data back.

transportation and mobility inequity is real and it is pervasive! transportation DATA inequity is just one contributing factor. #moveequity

[Councilmember Tammy J. Morales @CMTammyMorales]

Today, my colleagues saw a presentation from SDOT that only reinforces what we in Southeast Seattle already know: Our streets are not safe. They are not safe for kids, for elders, for people with low vision, for anyone who cannot drive for health-related or economic reasons.

#moveequity is about investment in the fabric of our communities- sidewalks, those infrastructure pieces that link every mode of transportation, connect all of us to economic opportunities, services and social engagement! @OpenSidewalks
