## Routes for walking to school
This script generates maps to analyze the potential walking routes for students to their school.
- I excluded the addresses of the students from the repository.
- The actual route generation is done with OSRM, I run it locally in a docker container.
- The basemap is pulled from Stadia Maps. The usage of the script is well within the free tier, you'll need an API key from them.
## Example figures
This script will generate a few figures:
### A heatmap of student addresses:
![example address figure](examples/example-addresses.png)
### A map of all the walking routes within the walk boundary:

### A map of those routes colored by the level of traffic stress to bike
