How is Street Story information collected?
Organizations and agencies share Street Story with members of the public, then members of
the public use Street Story to provide feedback on collisions, near-misses, hazards and safe
locations. Section 3 outlines how organizations or agencies can share Street Story with their
community.Members of the public can also use Street Story independently.
This means there is a centralized tool to gather data. Presumably an org would embed or link to the site, encouraging citizens to submit their data, which in turn is used by everyone.
On one hand, it would be nice to have an easily deployable tool to bring in that same data from users. On the other hand, I can’t think of a single org I’ve worked with that handles user data responsibly. Chalking it up to digital literacy?
Oh, I haven’t checked to see how the data is licensed.
