This is citizen-science project meant to help collate all of the information we have for St. John's NL sidewalk usage and pedestrians. All of the data is open, as is the source code. To view the source code visit the repositories on Github. The data comes from a number of places:
- 2016 Canadian Census, as made available via www.censusmapper.ca. If you'd like to see the walking and population density maps, they're available here:

- Percentage of Commuters - Public Transit Map https://censusmapper.ca/maps/2049#14/47.5743/-52.7278
- Population Density Map https://censusmapper.ca/maps/2081#14/47.5743/-52.7278
- The City of St. John's, NL Snow Clearing Priorities map is a manual porting of the GIS data available here: https://map.stjohns.ca/sidewalk/
The data contained in the stories and the obstructions maps are generated by users on this site. They're stored in mysql database.
