A Powerful Map Promises to Help Cities Keep Streets Free
When a city’s maps don’t match with Uber or Lyft’s, getting precious trip data can be arduous. SharedStreets thinks it can fix that.
Let’s say you’re throwing a block party. You and your neighbor both draw your own maps of where the street will be closed, and how to get there.
How would you do it? Just label some points on a line, or draw all the intersections? Do you indicate nearby parking spots? Does your map look exactly like your neighbor’s? Would partygoers looking at both get confused?
