The Cooler Way There
Same two points, scored by cumulative heat dose — not travel time.
Live-sourced data: comparing the two real corridors Shamveel identified — Canal Street (Route 47/48) and St. Charles Avenue (Route 12). Ambient heat index and streetview shade are real, one-time FortyGuard pulls at real points on each corridor (captured 2026-08-26, not re-fetched per page view). Every listed stop has its own per-stop streetview shade reading — see lib/live-data/snapshot.ts.
Dose is a project-defined score, not a clinical or OSHA heat-stress measurement — it combines wait time, heat-index severity, and shade coverage to compare routes relative to each other. Shade reduces radiant heat exposure, but we do not claim a universal percentage reduction in heat stress.
