Flatten SF is a new browser tool that calculates routes across San Francisco by balancing distance against elevation gain. It combines one-metre-resolution lidar elevation data from the USGS with the Overture street network graph to suggest paths that spare pedestrians the city's famously steep climbs. The project is drawing attention among developers and urbanists as a practical example of open geodata put to everyday use.
Why now: It showcases open government lidar and mapping data solving a familiar, relatable problem in a famously hilly city.
