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:Open Streets Windsor 2024
