It's the start of a new month, which means I've updated my #calgary #yyc Wikiproject on #openstreetmap .
I'm looking for ways to increase mapping activity regarding bus stops in the city.
The thing is, most of the bus stop mapping in January has been done by me alone on my walks. As much as I like exploring around the city and I kinda wanna see as much of it as I can, I can hardly make a dent in terms of completing the map on my own. Any suggestions?
Obligatory map provided.
I know I don't have to do this all by myself, but I don't know if I can pull off a mapping party, or how many man hours I could reasonably generate by rallying a group up for this task. Not to mention the pandemic making this task extra difficult. I also realize that this task gets much easier for those with a mode of transport. Even just a bike makes this easier.
Alright, I'm getting bored of walking the same trails all the time. I'm gunna start mapping transit routes again on #openstreetmap in #calgary #yyc #alberta .
It's gunna be cold, so I'll be wearing gloves and using one of those touch pens to keep me warm.
I'm trying to stay away from doing unecessary work, but I might take pictures or videos of animals while I'm out there for #Peertube. I'll keep away from blogging about it.
So this happened in lovely #yyc #calgary yesterday...

Seeing this reminds me of how much improvement could be done in the #openstreetmap project for #calgary #yyc . I know most of us can't do a lot, but maybe sometime in the future, we should all take maybe a day out of our schedules to improve the map of our city.
They might have big, fancy mapping cars, but we have a million people, some who are very creative, and the vast majority have phones. Let's do this!
#Calgary friends, please explain why people like this manage to even have the opportunity to be charged criminally this many times in such a short period. Are they getting extremely lenient sentences or something?

Freaking classy #Calgary. You just go out of your way to make the world a happier place. Much respect. Very like.

Three different incidents involving police within the fame hour. One of the incidents involving police with a k9 unit getting into a shouting match with a lady and dragging her off the bus I was on.
I'm glad I have time off, needless to say.
This city is insane. Crime skyrocketing as well as police involvement.
None of the grafitti in #Calgary has ever made me stop and think about it, except this one tonight. I think I was at 3rd st w station.
This is very symbolic of the current state of the city, considering our opioid epidemic.
I came up with an evil idea. There are abandoned shopping carts hidden around #Calgary. I'm bound to randomly find one. Imagine running with one, pushing it along the greenway? Just running as fast as you can, preferrably at night...
