Locate/create a point shapefile for bike parking in Mountain View

[aprilwebster]

Description

The City of Mountain View has a static bike parking map. A shapefile with points and metadata would be far more useful, easier to maintain and could be used in generating new maps that integrate other spatial data layers (e.g., bike route line data, points of interest point data, etc). Moreover, a shapefile could be converted to gml/kml and uploaded to a Google Map that would be more available to the general public.

Tasks

• [x] Contact Ria Lo at City of Mountain View to ask if they have shapefile
• [ ] If no shapefile is available, collect the data and create a shapefile using QGIS.
• [ ] Figure out how best to keep this shapefile current - would this involve passing it along to the City for ownership?
• [ ] Figure out how to determine the difference between private and public bike parking.
