Volunteers are needed to help NolaCycle create a bike map of the city. Every weekend the group holds events in neighborhoods all over the city. This Sunday, August 17th, from 5 pm to 7 pm, they'll be mapping the Lower 9th Ward and Holy Cross. Join them at LowerNine.org's headquarters at 6018 El Dorado Street if you're interested in helping out.
NolaCycle is a new project aiming to create a high quality cycling map of New Orleans. Cycling maps include information beyond just streets and their names as a benefit to cyclists. These maps will highlight pavement quality, car travel speed, lane width, and special caution areas (busy intersections, man-eating potholes, or high accident areas). Volunteers help to collect this data either by attending mapping events or doing it on their own time with NolaCycle DIY maps. Lauren Sullivan and other team members will then begin creating a digital map with all the data. By late spring or summer of next year, we will have a FREE map available in both print and online to help cyclists – young, old, local, and tourist alike – navigate the streets of New Orleans.
