_verb_

verb: **benchmark**; 3rd person present: **benchmarks**; past tense: **benchmarked**; past participle: **benchmarked**; gerund or present participle: **benchmarking**

1. evaluate (something) by comparison with a standard.

  "we are **benchmarking** our performance **against** external criteria"

When walking around, make a pitstop at a bench. Just sit there in the middle part. Look forward. Make yourself comfortable and take an unlimited time to see evaluate the premise. What does the neighborhood look like, what is the demographic. How much is it designed? Is it possible for anyone to be there?

Make a list of the specs.

Is there anything that could be tweaked?

In a smart city, be a smart civilian, look at the surroundings

Oostzeedijk Beneden	Wikipedia paraphrased translation: The Oostzeedijk is a high dyke in Rotterdam. On the Upperpart of the Oostzeedijk there is a tram lane. Close to the Voorschoterlaan there's a hill in between of the upper and lower part of the dyke.
ALTITUDE	51.921149149128134
LATITUDE	4.508842999837357
DESCRIPTION	hill Kralingen
INTENTIONS	I was walking and my brother and mother were in their Scootmobiles. We were looking for a place to eat and drink after a nice walk in the botanical garden. It was sunny and we thought "let's go up the dike to see". Since there was a hill going upwards that was wide enough for a scootmobile. We continued going on to the pavement towards Oostplein where we stumbled upon a beautiful big yet inconvenient piece of green. This resulted in two scootmobiles having to go off since there were no 'hellinkjes' (ramps). So imagine two of these safe scootmobiles, not being able to off pavement, just going in reverse until you can finally turn.
FRUSTRATIONS	The lack of accountability. It's not necessarily the complaint of a tree 'standing in the way' but more the lack of once again a ramp to just have the possibility to cross the street in order to continue getting to your location. Because at this point it only seems to be a place to just park your bike.
