MAKING DENTON SMARTER

Habib hopes to learn what kind of services residents want, as well as to educate them on what services are currently available that residents might not know about. An example of a project from elsewhere that Habib would like to see in Denton is real-time traffic information. Chicago and New York City are able to offer this service thanks to sensors in the roads that can report the amount of traffic at any given moment. However, most traffic-related services, such as Google Maps, currently give predictions based on past traffic patterns for that time period.

Of course, traffic data is helpful for planning where to drive, or even more importantly, where not to drive, but such data can have other uses. For example, if a person is planning to open a business, knowing the traffic patterns in the area could be extremely useful. While there are methods currently in place to estimate this information, such methods are expensive and labor-intensive and still only provide approximate answers.

ARTS AND AUTOS 2017

Denton has a lot of festivals. And while Oaktopia is about to cause all sorts of ruckus in a few weeks, we really enjoy the smaller ones. KDB's Redbud Festival and Denton Main Street's Arts and Autos events are two of our favorite Saturday mornings in Denton year in and year out. This Saturday just so happens to be one of those Saturdays. Arts and Autos (no more antiques - more on that later) is taking over the Denton square this Saturday morning from 9am until 3pm. Yes, the downtown Denton square will be cleared of cars to make room for...tons of cars! Check out some of our favorite aspects of the event in the post below so you can make the most of your time there!
