NYC BigApps | Addendum

As an addendum to our earlier post about the NYC BigApps contest, we’re shedding some additional light on another contestant, as well as one we already covered. Though the opportunity to vote has ended, we should all still be supporting these projects, each of which contribute to making our city a better place to live.

Roadify – has turned out to be one of our favorite applications in this competition, as it carries on the tradition of grassroots activism that has made Park Slope the place it is today. Randy (one of the project organizers) actually met us on the street and handed us a printed alternate-side parking key the other day. This team is not only working from the top-down; they are also advocating from the bottom-up. We are fully on board with their efforts to create an organized local movement to change the horrible parking situation in Park Slope.

Park Slope Alt Side Parking Map

Download a copy of your own alternate side of the street parking map by visiting this tweet by the Roadify team. Currently the map is only of the Roadify catchment area in Park Slope.

UpNext 3D Cities – CTO Vik Advani wrote to us and suggested we share his project, about which he had this to say:
“Our app is free and provides a fast, smooth, interactive map for New York (and Boston). We have a interactive subway map, ability to search by categories, tapping buildings, or keywords. It took us over 4 YEARS to create the tech. ReadWriteWeb called us the ‘future of mobile maps’.

Watch the video below to get a better idea of what we do. Please give us a try. We recommend using wifi to download the map.”

Interact with NY by downloading the app here.
