| 5/4/26 |  Bonus Mondays at The Overhead Wire: Mapping Every Sidewalk in Your State | We're doing a bit of a crossover episode this week as I wanted to do two things, promote the amazing podcast The Brake hosted by Kea Wilson at Streetsblog USA and Dr. Anat Caspi at The University of Washington and her work focused on creating a platform that inventories Washington State's sidewalks. This is a reproduction of The Brake's February 24th episode What It Would Take to Map Every Sidewalk In Your State. The Washington State sidewalk inventory is now 100% complete but if you'd like to be part of the coalition to get legislative support for continued maintenance make sure to contact the folks working on OS Connect. +++ Many thanks to Bob Nanna for our intro/outro music.
