New York/Mapraid

MapRaid! NYC has officially commenced on Sunday, 2014-11-09 at 19:00 EST!

We will start by focusing on the five boroughs of NYC. The group will be divided into five teams, one for each borough. Each team will have their own assigned senior editor (rank 6, or 5) who will be able to edit anywhere in the state of NY, but will focus on their assigned borough.

Most of the communication will be in various MapRaid! NY Google Hangout chats.

Mission

Our primary mission will be to handle the URs, and PURs, followed by checking turn angles at intersections, and turn restrictions. Our secondary mission will be to complete the FC Upgrade for the whole NYC, it's already about 60% complete.
