Filter labels based on route

[yeisenberg]

Brief description of problem/feature

Is it possible to filter labels based on a route? so user enters an origin and destination like on Google Maps and the route shows up and only the labels on that route show up. Another step on top of that would be choosing the potential side of the street with the lower number of barriers? are either of these possible? the latter seems more involved but wondering if there is some easy code to integrate google routes into the label results map?

I'm actually not sure what Google's routing API looks like or what it outputs, but at first glance this doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to do.

Another step on top of that would be choosing the potential side of the street with the lower number of barriers? are either of these possible?

This is definitely more involved, though I don't think that it would be too difficult to approximate? We talk about differentiating between sides of the street a bit in #1154

Neat, that would be great to look into. I think many people will find that valuable. Glad to hear you are thinking of the sidewalk side! Are the labels linked to the street center line?

Yes, labels are "linked" to street ids. But also have their own lat/longs.

The labels just have a latitude and longitude right now, so they aren't specifically linked to the center of the street. Though they are linked to a street based on the ID as Jon said.

Got it! so if the google route API works, it could filter based on those street IDs. Would an effort to create a sidewalk line layer be useful? like at least for testing this out? at one point i had started something like that for the City of Chicago with a class a while back

Also - recalling that Fabio and the PhD student he worked with worked on sidewalk line files in Chicago. perhaps he can share those?

Ah yes, that sounds great!
