replying partialyl to myself, partially to jake below..

And if it wouldn't work to do a p2p link, how far can we get, and maybe find some allies on the way? (eg the apt bldg across the street that used to have gear?)

Per gMaps it looks like a straight shot, however are there hills, tall buildings, trees, etc? Is there a way to ascertain this online?
In the meantime, I just did a quick G street view, and it looks like the building right across on 47th and perhaps a billboard or 2 might be the only tall/blockers, I'm not sure what that means the options are, going in front, going over, otherwise? (On shattuck) Also where does Omni have mesh connections with in the neighborhood, would it make more sense to go from there?

warmly, ajay

Just to be clear, we don't have much expectation of success having a network
link down Shattuck Avenue, especially the 1.2 miles to Long Haul (and I think
there's a hill in the way) but it will be fun to attach nodes to cars with
sunroofs and try stuff.

I think the best bet is to try to pair up with EBDCR, which is basically across
the street. We need to contact LMI and establish that EBDCR is eligible and
whether 1G or 10G (although either would be fine)

one reason we need it to be LMI is because Sonic and AT&T don't allow "sharing"
of a connection and LMI does. But also LMI is local and cool and Sonic is
corporate and AT&T is literally the devil. But all three companies sell AT&T's
infrastructure.
