Feature Request: Reference Layers #1935

Open atdservicebot opened 4 years ago

atdservicebot commented 4 years ago

PIO suggested adding relevant reference layers to the map: especially the DAPZC and council districts.

Would need to add a layer toggle as well.

Migrated from atd-dockless-dataviz #70

We would need to provide the shapefiles/polygons for the Downtown Area Project Coordination Zone and Council Districts if they aren't available here: http://austintexas.gov/department/gis-and-maps/gis-data

@mateoclarke & @johnclary Would you want to be able to toggle specific districts (ex, highlight only district 4) or show the borders of all the districts?

@chiaberry I think a good starting point would just be toggling all the districts on/off. What are your thoughts on this feature?

I did a rough implementation of the feature and while I was playing around with it, I was wondering who the feature was for. Or rather, who would be the people that would get the most value out of it. It's neat to add more information to the map, but what does seeing all of the districts outlined help with?

Which is what led me to wondering if there's any extra value from being able to show/highlight specific districts. It may be enough to just add the district number to each district (but I have not figured out how to do that yet)

Unsolicited community feedback:

If I were asked to implement a council district layer, I would do it such that selecting a council district from a select would automatically create a polygon lasso around that district and, therefore, only show data for the selected district.

@chiaberry The feature would be for our Public Information team. They field requests from the media and sometimes Council offices as well. From my perspective, the DAPCZ polygon would be more interesting that council districts but I like @avickers idea about selecting a district as the boundary for a fresh data query.

sorry for the delay in responding to this one

@mateoclarke I like the idea of selecting individual council districts vs showing them all at once. I'll look for the DAPCZ polygon and try using that one for now
