Draw a rectangle or polygon on the map to analyse a specific area.
Click Rectangle or Polygon, then draw on the map to outline your study area. After you finish the shape, this panel estimates what share of sidewalk area inside that outline is still available for vending (green) versus covered by restaurant buffers at the current exclusion distance (red). Use the Exclusion Buffer slider at the bottom to change the buffer and see how the split changes. Click Clear to remove the study shape and start over.
