I am a journalism student in NYC and used Street Violation data to make this map of where the sidewalk is essentially the shittiest to skate on. https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/SPkMd/5/ . I was wondering if that is even really a thing in New York:
- Do people actually skate on the sidewalk as either a form of transportation or just for fun, or do crowds make that difficult to do?
- Are you excited for the new skateparks planned by Tony Hawk's Skatepark Project or is there any other location or something that you would prefer?
- Are skateparks the main location people in NYC skate at?
(note: the circles on the map are where their currently are skateparks and later I want to add where the Skatepark Project plans to build their new parks).
Thank you for your time if anyone is willing to do a longer interview as well please feel free to dm me π
