Progress Update

Updated maps for Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn are on the right - I didn't make any new progress in Manhattan or Staten Island over the fall.

I didn't quite reach my goals for 2010 which were to be 99% done with Brooklyn and the Bronx, and 50% done with Queens. I did scrape out Queens with a bitterly cold walk through 7 tracts in Jamaica one evening before catching the Airtrain to JFK. I came pretty close in Brooklyn, and one or two solid treks through Southeast Brooklyn plus a few odd tracts should wrap that up soon. But I was shameful in the Bronx, not even managing to cover 2/3 of the borough.

The reality is that with good planning and patience with public transportation, this project is actually not that much walking. If I really made this a priority I could probably finish up in 2 months. As it is though, I think fall of this year is a realistic ending point I'm going to shoot for.
