What is this project about?

Starting 15th of July several teams will draw cycling routes in the Brussels region, these will be put together with nodes and interlinked with the nodes of the surrounding province of Vlaams Brabant. The end result will be a digital cycling node network for the Brussels region available in open data, made by the citizens, for the citizens following the recreational principles.

How much time? What is my commitment?

We estimate that as a participant in July during a period of 3 weeks, you will participate once a week in a short status call, once a week in a short video sharing call with other teams, and in between will be working with your team for about 3 hours of your time like you feel it.

In August there is the possibibility as an improver  to provide feedback for improvement of the routes between two cycling nodes.  This will take approximately 3 hours as well (cycling, sending through remarks and assembly)

At the end of the summer project, depending on COVID-19 measures, a physical/ hybrid launch event will be organised and the 0 node location revealed.

Hall of fame?

This project is citizen driven.  The outcome will be a Brussels cycling node network that will be available in open data CC BY format, and that can be used by differnt navigation engines.
The participating citizens will be allowed to have their names mentionned under the CCBY commons license.
