[*BCM*] List of dangerous streets

[Tripp Hyde]

I think the new "My Maps" from google might be useful here.  As an
example, I created a quick one with some notes about my commute to
work (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&om=1&z=14&msid=116444394082500975567.00000111c7895ab5abfd1&msa=0).
 Unfortunately it doesn't look like other people can edit it a the
moment (but that might be available in the future), but we could all
create our own and maybe keep a list online somewhere (like the BCM
website).
