Chi Safe Path: Navigating Chicago for Differently Abled People
Channel: Chi Hack Night
Date: 2016-09-23

In Chicago, sidewalks are essential in connecting us to just about any activity outside our own homes. Dilapidated and inaccessible sidewalks make getting around more difficult, if not impossible.

Steven Luker, a web developer, and Adam Hecktman, Civic technologist for Microsoft, discuss various ways that bad sidewalks not only make things difficult and dangerous for Chicagoans, and how a new civic app, Chi Safe Path, provides a way to deal with them.
