Description

### Overview
Project idea from Karina to examine accessibility to green spaces (parks, public beaches, etc.) within the City of LA. Ideas include:
- Combining metro/crime (e..g, vehicle crash data) data sets to see how accessible (transportation-wise) third green spaces are for the broad population.
- Examine population density info get a sense of the size of parks x population it’s serving in a mile-radius. Analysis can be helpful in many (deciding where to hold public events, determine underserved areas for new green spaces, etc)

### Data Sources Starting Point
Some data sources to start exploration can be found here:
- [LA Metro dataset](https://developer.metro.net/gis-data/)
- [LA City Parks](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwik1LT4oKeEAxUtMUQIHeT5DJMQFnoECBUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdata.lacity.org%2FParks-Recreation%2FDepartment-of-Recreation-and-Parks-GIS-Map-of-Park%2Fnuub-r4zx&usg=AOvVaw0ixMbMAc7m57sctXQOpKht&opi=89978449)
- [LA census data ](https://data.census.gov/table?g=050XX00US06037)

_Additional Data sources may be used for this project._

### Next steps
- [ ] Decide if this should be one issue or multiple.
- [ ] Decide on what additional analyses we can do
- [ ] Complete Project Proposal outlining: Objective, Expected Deliverable(s), Data Sources & Limitations, Research outline. Ideally, proposal should outline possible stakeholder(s) (e.g, LA resident, city council) of project deliverables.

### Project may involve:
Python, GIS data, data analytics, dashboard-building, data modeling
