📊
The Data Gap

This project addresses a critical gap in Boston's street safety efforts: the lack of data on traffic violations and compliant behavior. This open, publicly accessible dataset gives local politicians, city planners, advocates, and residents the factual data they need to make informed decisions on street safety.

📍
The Intersection

Currently focused on the intersection of West Broadway and Dorchester Avenue in South Boston — a high-conflict site shaped by dangerous design, ongoing bike lane tensions, and heavy multi-modal transit activity including the MBTA Red Line and multiple bus stops.

🏙
Citywide Relevance
