Sidewalk Width Estimation 人行道宽度估算

In light of the need for social distancing with the outbreak of COVID-19, I started this sidewalk width estimation project at the beginning of the pandemic to help agencies identify locations of bottlenecks on sidewalks where it’s hard to practice physical distancing. The analysis is helpful for planners as we evaluate and prioritize different streets for COVID-19 response projects (e.g., Open Street program where streets are closed to vehicular traffic and converted to pedestrian space). It also laid the foundation for many analyses in other projects such as the Open Restaurant project.
