Could you build this?
Partial While the map routing UI is easy to assemble, sourcing and modeling hyperlocal real-time safety signals, street-level lighting, and crime data into a customized routing engine is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: Requires an algorithmic routing engine (like Valhalla or OSRM) with custom edge-cost weighting functions. Builders must aggregate and normalize high-resolution municipal crime datasets, street lighting GIS layers, and foot traffic proxies, requiring continuous geospatial data pipelines and GIS expertise.
