Viz upgrade - show crash dates and increase contrast #215

We should have the data to support showing crash dates in the dialog window that appears when you click on a crash circle.

Right now it shows e.g

"x crashes"

but this could be extended to:

"x crashes:

date/time of first crash
date/time of second crash etc..."

Also we discussed the idea of reverting to the purple crash circles, to improve their contrast against the map.

What's the point of showing the crash dates and times now that the model doesn't have a temporal aspect anymore? Maybe it makes more sense to show the lat/long coordinates so the user can look up when crashes happened in the crash dataset they're supplying.

I'd still like to see the dates, if it's possible to do. I envision this as a tool that advocacy groups can use also, and if they want to easily see when crashes happened in a certain area (which was actually a request our local bike advocacy group made of me), it would be great if there's a tool they can use without having to dig into the data themselves.

So are we envisioning there will be people who will use the viz but not run the pipeline themselves?
