Street-Level Alerts
Real-time DOT, Parks, and community board updates—street closures, sidewalk sheds, and park access changes—updated daily.
The street you walk through daily might have a new closure by sunrise, but your routine shouldn’t wait for email delays. Street-Level Alerts pull direct feeds from DOT construction logs, Parks Department bulletins, and local community board meeting notes—cleaned and normalized so you see only what’s actionable. Each alert tags the affected blocks, duration, and alternate routes, and all are geo-anchored so you’ll only see what matters near your current or planned location.
A sidewalk shed on your usual route to a co-working space could double your walk time; this alert helps you adjust before you leave. You can filter by alert type—like Construction, Park Access, Event Closures, or Utility Work—so you’re not buried in low-impact notices. The feed refreshes daily at 5 AM and again at noon, sync-ing with city departments’ publish cycles so updates land in your feed the same day they’re announced.
Unlike generic traffic apps, these alerts reflect real-time infrastructure shifts, not just congestion. A park gate closing for annual maintenance won’t show up in GPS—but it will here, with notices about detours, shortened hours, or temporary closures. For those organizing pop-up markets, photo shoots, or outdoor meetups, knowing these changes upfront avoids last-minute cancellations or fines.
