WalkShed

A trip planner to route you through as many sidewalk sheds as possible.

What is a sidewalk shed?

Glad you asked! See The New York Times.

Modules

  • engine - An instance of OpenTripPlanner designed to weight street vertices based on whether they contain a sidewalk shed or not vs. the shortest distance or other more "typical" optimizations.

  • frontend - A JavaScript front-end for the engine that allows a user to request a trip between two points. Uses the Yahoo! geocoder, which in 2020, I believe is dead. YMMV.

  • loader - A PHP backend script to scrape the New York City OpenData portal for records of sidewalk sheds and load them into the graph used by OTP. This happens via a REST API--see the source for details.

If anybody wants to resurrect this idea, I'm happy to provide support via E-mail. Reach out!
