This incredible kickstarter is in an effort to get people walking in their city. If this project gets funded, people will be able go onto a website to print signs telling people how many minutes away an area of interest is on foot. Using a tactic called guerilla wayfinding (basically putting up directional street signs without permission) anyone can help encourage walking in their city.

So far they are at about half their $5,800 goal. The best part is they are building the site completely open source. Each sign contains a QR that can be connected to Google Maps allowing the user to see their route on their phone. Check out the map prints the same group funded last year on kickstarter that they sell at CityFabric and bug them to create a Portland shirt; I did.
