My first set of edits and additions are conducted as part of the GIS class I am currently taking towards my BSc in Geography at Northern Illinois University. Some initial edits were done around the university campus in DeKalb IL as part of a class initiative to comprehensively digitize the area. As part of the group effort I have digitized sidewalks, crosswalks and traffic calming features. I followed this up by examining the level of detail in the area where I currently live, La Grange IL, and have added sidewalks, parking lots, building polygons and restaurants in the town, though much remains to be done. Finally, I started to digitize physical features (lakes, streams, forest and roads) in the area around the village in which I grew up in Mayo, Ireland.
