But first, is CityStrides able to determine/calculate the length (mi/K) of “roads”? Hint: The answer is in the last paragraph of this idea.

If not, then this idea won’t work… Unless things have changed.

**Backstory** : Today I was on [Bursey Road](https://citystrides.com/streets/3371091) in [Keller, TX](https://citystrides.com/cities/14388).

I know this road is extending beyond Keller city limits, and its underlying [issue](https://community.citystrides.com/t/some-streets-contain-nodes-outside-of-city-boundary/18523).

But as I looked at all those red nodes, outside city limits, I wondered, “How long is Bursey Road?” _How far am I going to have run, to complete this street?_

I know there is the scale at the bottom of the map, but I don’t know how many thousand foot (at this zoom) pieces there are.

Here’s my mock-up of the idea, and the city/road in question:

 ![Distance next to street name](https://d25dflut6m8e53.cloudfront.net/original/2X/4/4eda2c8da6c89c5ac1cf1946abf2245bff5f8fa9.png)

FYI, I used Google Maps for the distance of the part of the street in question. All of Bursey is actually even longer, but this is the “_Keller_” part. I’d be OK with the distance of the (shown) nodes, since that is what will need to be run/walked/hiked.

This might also tie into this idea, [Total miles in a city idea](https://community.citystrides.com/t/total-miles-in-a-city-idea/18116), from which I leaned that, at the moment, **CityStrides does not know the lengths**. ☹ So I guess that puts a big hole in this idea.

Oh well, thanks for reading.
