NolaCycle Bike Map Project: No afternoon shift for mapping along the Lafitte Corridor today

NolaCycle is a project aimed to create a high quality cycling map of New Orleans. Cycling maps include information beyond just streets and their names that benefits cyclists. In our map, we highlight the pavement quality, car travel speed, lane width, and special caution areas (busy intersections, man-eating potholes, or high accident areas). Volunteers help to collect this data by attending mapping events.
The information is then digitized to make a map of the data we collected to help cyclists - young, old, local, and tourist alike - navigate New Orleans.

Check out the blog for updates on the project, ways to get involved, and volunteer mapping events!

No afternoon shift for mapping along the Lafitte Corridor today

Thanks to everyone to showed up yesterday, we don't have much left to map! We will be finished around 1pm today, so if you were planning on coming out from 2-6pm, you can now spend that time at French Quarter Fest or the American Planning Conference.
