Analysis of street segment length in deployment cities

[jonfroehlich]

When analyzing Oradell data, @crescendochu observed that some street segments in Oradell are really small. We should examine the distribution of street segment lengths in our deployment cities—starting with Oradell.

One reason for the small street segments can be when intersections are on the boundary of neighborhoods. When I'm creating the database and I have control over the neighborhood boundaries, I try to minimize the amount that this happens, but it's often difficult to avoid.

Right, that makes sense @misaugstad. Thanks for this note!

Another thing to note is that we include the osm_id in the streets API, so one could combine streets based on the OSM ID and compare to the street edges that are broken down into smaller pieces.
