New roadworks and the residents affected
New roadworks this week and the residents affected.
What it does
Every Monday: roadworks that started in your city, only the new ones, how many residents live around each, and a resident notice drafted by xMap AI, emailed and mapped.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Toronto, find roadworks, keep only new ones, count who lives around, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
Residents complain when roadworks surprise them. Knowing who is affected lets the city inform them first.
Who it is for
Government & smart cities. Municipalities, agencies and city teams planning services and keeping residents safe and informed. Every use case for government & cities
Best use cases
- A roads authority
- A municipality
- A utilities company
What each run gives you
- An email
- A map
The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 60 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
