News: Draw your neighborhood boundary on a map — 2 years ago

On neighborhood maps you can now draw and edit boundary lines. It’s pretty sweet. I just drew the neighborhood boundary for Capitol Hill in Seattle.

You’ll see a “create neighborhood boundary” link at the top of neighborhood map pages. Clik that to get started. A tip: when you’re setting points for drawing the boundary line you can always click “remove last point” to go back a pinpoint.

A little hard to see

The boundary line is so faint I wouldn’t have seen it had I not known it was there and was looking for it.

i agree

it might look better on my mac at home (most things do!) but here at work I can hardly see it at all.

EDIT: it’s a little easier to see if you zoom in.

Todd just fixed this. Some browsers (like ours) were seeing it great because they defaulted to the correct style. So Todd set the style to a thickness and color purple that should show up for all browsers now. Let us know if it looks good …

Looks good to me! I like the purple—it’s noticable but not too distracting.

Can you try setting the boundary line for Belltown to see if it works for you? I’ll even provide you a definitive Belltown boundary map so you don’t have to look it up.

I’d like to make sure it works well enough for a non-Robot.

Yep, looks great. Awesome tool. It’s like that Gmaps Pedometer thing.

You redrew my Mount Baker!

You absorbed Courtland Place, the Rainier Valley and about half the Genesee Neighborhood into Mount Baker. Holy Neighborhood imperialism! And you cut out the Mt Baker Rowing Center. What gives? We need to add comments to those maps for the neighborhood turf battles.
