A web application that displays the locations of Motorbike parking bays in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex

Brighton Bike Bays

Brighton and Hove City Council publish a list of all Motorbike Parking Bays in the City, but only by road name, not an exact GPS location. This is where this Laravel application comes in...

I will be adding the desired features as and when I get time. Please feel free to submit a pull request if anyone has any enhancements.

Database

The Bike Bays are stored in a SQLite database that took me a long time to gather the data for, if you use this data for any other project please attribute the copyright to me.

Current features

• Shows accurate location of bike bay on Google Maps
• Street View image of bike bay
• Different icon depending if the bay has secure locking points

Current application is availiable at the below URL brightonbikebays.magenificent.com

Please Note: The database does not currently contain all bike bays in Brighton, this is being updated as and when I have the time.

brightonmotorbikebays's Issues

Add Favicon icon

Could do with a nice favicon icon. Maybe a motorbike icon?

Link to us from Brighton Council Website

Hey @andybroomfield, how about a link to http://brightonbikebays.magenificent.com/ from the Bike Bay page on the Brighton Council website... https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/parking-and-travel/parking/motorcycle-bay

Implement heading in Database

The StreetView image doesn't always show the actual bay itself, we are going to need a custom heading for each image.

This will need to be implemented in to the database, then updated to the correct heading for each image.

Progress Bar doesn't get to the end

The tick and colour change happens before the progress bar has got to the end.

The progress bar should reach the end and the colour should change at that time. There is a timing issue somewhere.

Add Image Upload

It would be nice to have the option to upload an image of the Bike Bay and if an image exists use that rather than the Strret View image.
