because Capitol Hill is the real center of the Universe (not Fremont) and all maps should be designed accordingly...

Speaking of London, I like their spider maps showing bus routes serving a tube station. I like them so much, I made a map of bus routes serving Capitol Hill Station on Broadway.

Do you find Seattle bus maps confusing? I sure do. I mean, I'm no Massimo Vignelli, but neither are the Metro map designers, you know?

So I spent a little time with Illustrator making the map you see below. I don't know if it will be very useful for long-time Cap Hill residents, but new people might like it.  I'll make another post soon about how to use the cool "Mybus.org" site from your cell phone, but for now, let me know if you have any suggestions on the map.

Based on the lively discussion here is my final attempt at a remapping of the neighborhoods. As J said, it's meant to be an organizing scheme not a statement of absolute Truth. Check out the image here or on Google maps. If other want to create a version I think you can click "Save to my maps" and then start editing your own version.

The naming of sub-neighborhoods sparked debate on the new CHS even before most of us had logged in. The most contentious name, understandably, is Institution Belt. The most popular, understandably, is I-5 Shores. Hillku's resident geographer, jonglix, just published a brand spankin' new map (see above) with a some proposed changes.

So I thought I'd get the ball re-rolling. Whaddya think? How should we (re)define the Hill?
