Web-based mapping tool focused on vacant land in Oakland
The Oakland Community Land Trust (OakCLT) is partnering with a group of volunteers on an initiative called CityFarmShare. In brief, the overarching goal of CityFarmShare is to make more land available for community gardening and urban agriculture in Oakland.
A group out of NYC (596acres.org) has developed a property viewer specifically suited to this kind of work. The code is on GitHub, and has recently been adapted for use in New Orleans and Philadelphia. We’d love to stand up a version of this platform for CityFarmShare and OakCLT to help push our work forward in Oakland.
Data from the Alameda County Assessor can likely serve as the main source for parcel info. We can provide the data.
