Scrape Off-Leash Dog Areas from mountainview.gov #20

Open evankroske opened 8 years ago

evankroske commented 8 years ago

The city of Mountain View allows residents to walk their dogs off-leach in certain city parks at certain times. However, the page that lists the hours when and locations where dogs can be walked is just a list of addresses. Could you write a script to transform the web page into a KML document containing a placemark for each of the locations?

Modify your script to download the web page and print it on the command line. Modify your script to print just the park names and addresses where dogs can be walked off-leach. Modify your script to print a KML document containing a placemark for each park containing the name and address of the park: https://developers.google.com/kml/articles/geocodingforkml

This sounds simple enough. Can you please block this task for us to implement? Thanks.
