Some helpers for analyzing CityStrides data.
Note: there is no public API, so we have to resort to scraping the UI of citystrides.com. The requests are done sequentially to avoid overwhelming the site.
CityStrides marks your progress by complete streets. In a city like Vancouver, you could run a long time without actually completing any streets, so I like to target short streets now and then.
Pop the data into a spreadsheet to find short streets...
