Addu Link Road and Other Lines on a Map

A bundled post template for place, infrastructure, and everyday inconvenience.

A post bundle with local data and a simple timeline.

Plot = require("@observablehq/plot")

This is scaffold content. Replace it when the actual road, cost, time, source, and annoyance data are ready.

timeline = [
  {date: new Date("2021-01-01"), label: "promised"},
  {date: new Date("2022-07-01"), label: "delayed"},
  {date: new Date("2024-01-01"), label: "still talking"},
  {date: new Date("2026-01-01"), label: "ask again later"}
]

Plot.plot({
  height: 220,
  marginLeft: 40,
  x: {label: null},
  y: {axis: null},
  marks: [
    Plot.ruleY([0], {stroke: "#5f6470"}),
    Plot.dot(timeline, {x: "date", y: 0, fill: "#ffd21f", r: 6}),
    Plot.text(timeline, {x: "date", y: 0, text: "label", dy: -18, fill: "#f7f7f2"})
  ]
})

Thought

Infrastructure is where policy stops being abstract. Either the road works for people, or it does not.
