This would help prioritize future DOT pedestrian safety design improvements for most dangerous areas with most vulnerable students, and hopefully motivate DOE to become more involved with student safety on streets. Lucian (sp?) has graciously offered to map this!

@seanluciotolentino not sure what you did, but the footer to the page is off center.

Where in Queens is a project of Queens Library derived from link-sf.org and aimed at connecting residents of Queens with social services in their immediate area.

When reading the projects listing, if no project description was provided, the viewer is left wondering what the thing is all about. If the github repo has a readme.md, it's contents can be imported as the project description - or at least the first 300 words thereof, to save having to click through to the repo (and non-technical readers won't thing to do so anyway).

Need a password on the edit page.

oba-path-extractor (https://github.com/Bus-Data-NYC/oba-path-extractor) is a simple Node tool to extract all metadata provisioned from the MTA used on their Bustime application with regards to target bus lines. Within oba-path-extractor is the resulting file geojsons/ which contains a clean GeoJSON FeatureCollection shapefile for both inbound and outbound routes on every bus line in the MTA system.

This data is "open" but unuseable in current form. Lucian (sp?) is taking a stab at pulling out Geo points and speeds to make something humans can use to better advocate for speed enforcement in their neighborhoods.

We've moved our repo into the BetaNYC group from it's original location. Please update it on the projects.beta.nyc page.

NEW Repo URL: https://github.com/BetaNYC/service-alerts

Original issue: #34

Add sorting by date updated, number of issues, number of needs, etc.

Develop a standard schema for civic.json to add non-github metadata to civic app projects.

The projects page can look for civic.json in the root of every repo to add things like:

-Tag for in-progress, alpha, beta, complete
-Tag for needs (I need a UX dev, I need a rails guru, etc)
-Tag for sector (transportation, housing, government, council)

Please respond to this issue with ideas for what should be included in civic.json

keep pointing projects.betanyc.us to this repo

CFA would like each brigade to have a projects.json endpoint that is simply a list of github urls. http://projects.betanyc.us/projects does this, but has all of the project data as well.

TODO: Create projects.betanyc.us/projects.json that returns:
[
{http://www.gihub.com/xyz/abc},
{http://www.gihub.com/xyz/abc}
]

Hoping to take Tim's scraped CompStat info by precinct for last year, compile it into monthly figures, and compare those numbers to monthly TrafficStat numbers for dangerous moving violations. The top three we could focus on are Failure to Yield, Speeding, and Red Light. Vision Zero initiative started last January I believe, so that would be a good start date.

It would be a powerful advocacy tool to be able to show data and ask for more Vision Zero enforcement in precincts that have low numbers in both datasets.

I am trying to counter the "we don't have enough manpower to focus on streets" argument.

Would also be useful to get ahold of individual precinct staffing levels, but does anyone know if this is available? Don't see it on Open Data portal...

Hung Dinh from Place Pixel is going to work on this with me tomorrow.

Subtasks:

• update readme to be “done”
• Add more to needs example: Designer, developer, data scientist, subject matter experts, project manager, community testing, deployment support

Do you want to feature it at Code Across: no

We need to use the Github API, rather than managing the data in our own database. The app needs to be totally rewritten to run without a backend.

Just added a civic.json courtesy of @clhenrick.

The last updated is not accurate to the last commit. For example, the project list git repo has had pushes in the last week, but the project page says that it was last updated 9 months ago.

We are scraping real time MTA alert data and capturing it in a database to visualize frequency, duration and time of different alert types (sick passenger, rail condition, police activity, etc.) on an interactive map.

Need to add tagging

This is an implementation of Nathan9's web scraper (https://github.com/nathan9/nycbusperformance) in Node and is designed to be integrated for deployment on a series of Azure virtual machines - see README for further details.

Project intent is to run a series of analyses in real time on MTA OneBusAway's live feed/API. The output generated is aggregated, analyzes, and summarized allowing API users to query for location and data performance from August 2014 to present day, in perpetuity. Data is fed in at 30 second intervals and processed in hourly batches. Results will include arrival and departures against all stops, as well as performance for each segment of route between each stop.

API and aggregated data is hosted on Azure, provided though a Microsoft Civic Tech sponsorship.

Project is hosted online at:
