Hi there! First time submittal and looking for some advice for getting some Pokestops approval down a sidewalk that is often used by the local community, and UCF students. There aren’t many signs or things besides street signs and telephone poles that are “permanent”, so I’m trying to bounce some ideas.
Description/Supporting
Rouse Road Double Turn
This double turn on Rouse Road is great for changing up your exercise routine. Take a walk, run, or bike ride along Rouse Road to get in shape and explore!
This sidewalk along Rouse Road is used by the community and by UCF students for walking, running, biking, or just plain exploring. It’s a great route to get your steps in, get outdoors, and explore the community!
This appears to have been rejected by the ML (machine learning ai) model from the “our team” note in the email. The rejection reason is probably “Wayfarer criteria.” I am glad you have come here, but I can’t think of any way to present this to get it accepted. Being where you think one would be good is not an acceptance criteria. (I was going to quote the criteria page, but the site won’t let me in right now.) Look for things that are GREAT places of exploration, exercise, or being social. A random spot along a sidewalk is not a good candidate.
The goal is to place pokestops all along the sidewalk down this strip of road. Since this is a sidewalk, that’s where I’m having a bit of trouble finding “interesting things”. It’s a great strip for exercising; people use it daily if not multiple times a day. I was originally going to post a picture of a telephone pole, but saw the wall was……more permanent and more interesting, believe it or not, lol.
What would be the best option then for a sidewalk for exercise?
Agree with Roli on this. I just don’t see getting a sidewalk accepted. It is just infrastructure. Look around the area for things that do meet criteria. I see a lot of businesses - do they have any sculptures? I see a wedding venue and some kind of athletic court near it. Could those work?
Looks like the area is largely residential, if I have the right area, with really nothing eligible on the map. Way down Rouse Rd. there seems to be a church and a mosque. Those could be possibilities if they aren’t already way spots.
