Cleaning La's Streets

Last calendar week the Los Angeles Time created an interactive map showing the cleanliness of LA's streets. The Where are L.A.'s Dirtiest Streets? map shows the levels of litter, illegal dumping as well as weeds on all of Los Angeles' roads using information from the mayor's Clean Streets initiative.

At the fourth dimension I idea that the LA Times map had potential to travel a useful tool for the city's sanitation department. However it turns out that the LA Bureau of Sanitation has created its ain maps from the data. The Clean Streets Index allows yous to explore the information used inwards the LA Times map inwards to a greater extent than item as well as also explains how that information is used past times the City to deal build clean the city's streets.

Where the LA Times map solely provides a visualization of each street's overall cleanliness marker the Clean Streets Index has mapped visualizations of the cleanest as well as dirtiest areas, areas of persistent littering as well as areas alongside regular illegal dumping. By using the information to highlight hot-spots of illegal dumping as well as persistent littering the Bureau of Sanitation is ameliorate able to deploy enforcement tactics as well as target resources inwards the city.
