List of cities that have contacted us about new deployments #281

Closed jonfroehlich closed 3 years ago

jonfroehlich commented 8 years ago

I thought it would be interested to run a poll, maybe on Twitter or maybe on Project Sidewalk, to see which cities people were interested in us deploying to next.

I would have to go back through my emails to determine exactly who has contacted us in the past about PS deployments, but the list includes the following (checkboxes indicate that we've deployed there):

In selecting next cities for deployment, I want to consider: geographic diversity, city size, and whether we have a local advocate (ideally in government but could also be a citizen)

For the RFP I'm currently writing for, they want a focus on the Pacific Northwest including Alaska. I just checked out Juneau, which is beautiful (and fun to explore!), but also has some clear accessibility issues and is a small town. I also have family there (and possibly some connections to local government). One downside, however, is it looks like it's only been driven through three times: in 2007, in 2009, and in 2011.

@manaswis, I haven't been keeping good track of all the cities that have contacted us--you mentioned in a meeting with me that you have. Could you Slack me the list?

I'm closing this since it isn't an open issue to be addressed. we can continue to use it as a place to list cities that have contacted us about deploying there!
