Philly RCO Map

This was created to make it easier to find your local RCO. The city publishes a map of RCOs, however it is not as colorful!

This map was built with a GeoJSON file shared on OpenDataPhilly.org, and adds additional information like website and mission. The project is hosted on github.

Data Updates

To add data to the map:

1. Install geojson-precision: npm i -g geojson-precision
2. Download latest city geosjon file from: https://opendataphilly.org/datasets/registered-community-organizations-rco-boundaries/ as Zoning_RCO.geojson
3. run geojson-precision -p 6 Zoning_RCO.geojson Zoning_RCO-6p.geojson to reduce number of digits used for geojson which reduces files size by approximately half.
4. Make any changes needed to data-updates.csv
5. Run python data-update.py to update the data.geojson file that drives the site. If there are any missing orgs in data-updates.csv, they will be printed. Add them to data-updates.csv and re-run until no messages appear.

This is designed to support future updates of the City's GeoJSON file, hosted: https://opendataphilly.org/datasets/registered-community-organizations-rco-boundaries/ .
