Downtown Development Map Now Online
by admin on October 31st, 2006
It’s fun every once in a while when a work project intersects with what I’m interested in Downtown. Working at Cartifact, where we do plenty of Downtown maps, that happens more often than it might in a lot of other contexts.
Several weeks ago a new map we did started running in the weekly issues of the Downtown News. A special map for the recent Development Issue highlighted all the projects going on Downtown. As of a few days ago you can now find that Downtown Development Map online and follow along with the grid coordinates given in the development listings. It’s not a full interactive like the Downtown Los Angeles Interactive Map we did with DCBID, but I think it’s a cool way to make the map useful online.

UPDATE: Notes a commenter, “My favorite thing about this map is that the Lower East Side is labeled ‘Ghetto’.” Christ, how did we miss that?
