Make the next block
easier to walk.

SnapHOU turns sidewalk barriers into a shared, time-stamped neighborhood picture—so Foster Place can see what needs attention first.

About this workspace

A small neighborhood tool with a clear boundary.

A Houston sidewalk edge framed by trees and warm afternoon light

Built for Foster Place’s aging-in-place and pedestrian-mobility challenge. Demonstrative points are labeled. Community observations are separate from Houston 311 records. The Foster Place focus boundary and route geometry are approximate until a neighborhood partner verifies them.
