This project was part of LISC’s Commercial Corridor challenge, which WHEDco had won last year. In this map, I listed some examples of the Business that participated in WHEDco’s storefront improvement process. Photos attached are of the business’s storefronts prior to improvement.

This is a good start, but I think you could do more with the map, don’t you? The idea isn’t just to map things for the sake of doing it, but to let the map reveal something to you. So…what does this reveal to you? Write more about that. And what can you tell us about the signs that are there vs. the signs that WILL be there. How does that change the commercial corridor? What is the potential of that change — is it just upgrading or is it about attracting new business? What is it about this particular part of the South Bronx versus any other (geographically) that makes it worth understanding spatially?
Also it would be great if the map opened on the area we are looking at — zoomed all the way in — rather than the user having to zoom in to see what she is looking at. Just saying! 🙂
