SUMMARY:WindsorEssexCycling V2 Launch
DESCRIPTION:📍 Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette AVe\, Unit 210) and Online via Zoom 💻👥 Hybrid💲 Free \n\n\n\nIn 2022 Windsor Hackforge began an initiative to connect the local tech and cycling communities. In partnership with The City of Windsor\, The County Wide Active Transportation System (CWATS)\, and Parallel 42 Systems\, we launched a beta version of WindsorEssexCycling.ca. This free to use\, no account required web app offered cycling routes that took into consideration road conditions such as speed limit\, surface quality\, bike lane presence\, and general traffic levels. \n\n\n\nBuilt by community members\, this version served as a proof-of-concept\, and gave users something to test and provide feedback on. \n\n\n\nWith that feedback and contributions from even more community members\, we’ve developed WindsorEssexCycling.ca Version 2. \n\n\n\nUsing the same principles as the original\, V2 offers a better UI as well as turn-by-turn directions. Routing improvements are a never-ending endeavour\, with updates coming through as our OpenStreetMap team incrementally improves the underlying data. \n\n\n\nOn Thursday\, September 19th we’re celebrating the official launch of WindsorEssexCycling.ca V2 with an event at our HQ in Downtown Windsor\, and online via Zoom. Developer Haley Tibbits will be on hand to discuss some of her work\, and members of our OSM team will be present to talk about routing. We’ll also share some details about our future plans for the app\, and how you can get involved! \n\n\n\n📅 Thursday\, September 19th⌚ Time 6 – 7:30 PMRegister to attend In-Person in the RSVP box belowRegister to attend Virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:OSM Field Mapping
DESCRIPTION:📍Sandwich Town – Meet in front of the John Muir Branch of the Windsor Public Library (363 Mill St.)👥In-person Only \n\n\n\nNow that spring is here we’re excited to get back outside for some OpenStreetMap field mapping! \n\n\n\nThis time we’re going to cover Sandwich Town in Windsor’s west end. We’ll meet at the John Muir Branch of the Windsor Public Library (363 Mill St.) for 6pm\, and from there will explore one of the oldest settlements in Ontario.

SUMMARY:OpenStreetMap Windsor-Essex: Active Transportation Infrastructure Catalogue & Wishlist
DESCRIPTION:📍Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210)👥 In-Person Only \n\n\n\nActive transportation infrastructure includes sidewalks\, bike lanes\, and multi-use paths. Basically\, anything that improves people’s ability to move about their environment using human-powered forms of travel – think bikes\, rollerblades\, canoes\, and wheelchairs. \n\n\n\nOSM Windsor-Essex wants to explore where this infrastructure already exists in the region\, and then daydream about the possibilities for improving it! We’ll start by gathering attendee input on where existing infrastructure is currently missing from the dataset\, and will then create a map that shows where we would like to see additions and improvements. The Wishlist Map will then be made available on the Hackforge website.
