Project Overview

I am the Founder & Principal Developer of Sightline Acquisitions, a Massachusetts-based outdoor advertising development firm focused on identifying and securing new billboard development opportunities throughout the state.

I am seeking a highly detail-oriented researcher to identify ten preliminary static & digital billboard development candidates along major Massachusetts interstate corridors.

This is not a generic lead generation task.

The objective is to identify realistic, research-supported billboard opportunities that demonstrate:

favorable visibility,
commercial or industrial zoning compatibility,
viable spacing conditions,
strong interstate exposure,
and credible preliminary development characteristics.

The final deliverable should feel closer to preliminary feasibility research than a simple property list.

Scope of Work

Identify:

10 Static/Digital Billboard Development Candidates

Primary interstate corridors:

I-93
I-95
I-495
I-90

Massachusetts only.

Required Deliverables for Each Site
1. Property Information

Provide:

Street address
City/Town
Parcel ID / Map-Lot Number
Property owner name
Ownership mailing address (if available)

2. Zoning Analysis

Provide:

Exact zoning district designation
Confirmation that zoning appears commercial or industrial in nature
Notes regarding any apparent municipal billboard restrictions or moratorium concerns

Sites should avoid:

residential zoning,
open space,
environmentally sensitive locations,
and heavily constrained corridors.

3. Billboard Spacing Analysis

Provide preliminary spacing review using:

MassMapper / Oliver
Google Earth
or equivalent mapping tools

Include:

approximate spacing from the nearest existing billboard,
same-side-of-highway observations,
and screenshots showing measurements.
Static Billboard Target

Approximately 500 feet minimum spacing from existing billboards on the same side of the highway.

This is preliminary research only and not legal certification.

4. Visibility & Highway Exposure

Provide:

Google Street View links
Highway-facing screenshots
Preliminary visibility observations

Focus on:

long driver viewing windows,
minimal visual obstruction,
interstate-facing exposure,
favorable traffic orientation,
and commercial corridor compatibility.

5. Site Suitability Notes

For each site, provide short written notes regarding:

likely structure orientation,
visibility strengths,
interchange proximity,
vegetation concerns,
nearby residential sensitivity,
and overall preliminary development potential.

Research should prioritize realism and credibility over quantity.

Preference should be given to sites that appear realistically developable from both a permitting and landowner outreach standpoint.

6. Ownership & Outreach Information

For each site, provide the best available ownership and outreach information, including:

property ownership entity,
key ownership or management contacts,
operational or publicly available email addresses,
business phone numbers,
mailing addresses,
and company websites or contact forms (if applicable).

The goal is to make each site “landowner outreach ready” following preliminary feasibility review.

Ideal Candidate

Preferred experience includes:

outdoor advertising research,
zoning or land-use research,
GIS or mapping tools,
commercial real estate research,
or infrastructure/development feasibility analysis.

Strong preference for candidates familiar with:

Massachusetts roadway systems,
MassDOT OOA spacing concepts,
and commercial corridor development patterns.

Important Notes

I am not looking for:

random highway parcels,
generic scraped property lists,
unrealistic billboard placements,
or AI-generated filler research.

thoughtful site selection,
development-oriented analysis,
and commercially realistic billboard opportunities.
Workflow
Initial Alignment Step

Before completing the full assignment, you will first submit:

one sample site

for review and approval.

This ensures alignment on:

site quality,
research depth,
and development criteria.
Communication

All communication and deliverables should remain within Upwork.

Timeline

Target completion:

3–5 days after project start

Potential for ongoing work if research quality is strong.

We are looking for a long-term technical partner capable of building a venture-scale platform with nationwide growth potential.

I am looking for a civil drafter or land survey technician proficient in AutoCAD to create a quick, single-sheet Conceptual Subdivision Site Plan for a 1.8-acre parcel in Chesapeake, Virginia.
​This is an administrative and legal strategy sketch, not a full construction-grade civil package. There is no stormwater management, utility design, or grading required. I only need the geometry mapped out to show a conceptual layout.
​Scope of Work:
​Trace the Base Map: I will provide a high-resolution, legally stamped blueprint PDF of an adjacent development. You will trace my 1.8-acre parcel using the exact metes, bounds, bearings, and distances already clearly written on that blueprint. No survey work or GIS scaling is needed—just input the written geometry.
​Subdivide the Parcel: Divide the 1.8-acre footprint into 3 or 4 standard, single-family residential lots that meet basic zoning geometry.
​Draw the Access Road: Draw a standard 50-foot public right-of-way (access street) running through the parcel that terminates directly at the shared property line, pointing dead-center into the adjacent developer’s blocking lots.
​Deliverables: A clean PDF copy and the source .DWG file. Please include a clear watermark/label on the plan stating: "CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN - FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY - NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION."
​Budget & Timeline:
This is a straightforward tracing and layout job that should take an experienced CAD operator less than 2 to 3 hours. Looking to get this turned around within 48 to 72 hours. Please provide a fixed-price quote.

Experienced Developer for High-Accuracy Oversize Permit Routing (React + Google Maps / OSRM)

Job Description:
I’m building a web application that converts trucking PDFs into accurate routes on Google Maps.

The goal is to take a permit’s route table and generate a clean, reliable Google Maps route that closely follows the permitted path, including proper handling of mandatory safety bypasses (such as low bridge detours).

Current Situation:
I have a working React + TypeScript frontend with Google Maps. The backend uses a combination of Google DirectionsService + custom waypoint logic, and we’ve recently started exploring OSRM for better corridor geometry. However, we’re still facing recurring accuracy issues:

Origin and Destination often don’t land correctly on highways at state lines.
Routes create unnecessary loops and detours off the main corridor.
Mandatory bypasses are not handled cleanly.

Core Requirements:

Drag-and-drop PDF permit upload (support for multiple files)
High-accuracy parsing of route tables and instructions from government permit PDFs
Smart extraction of highways, ramps, intersections, and turn-by-turn directions
Generate accurate routes that closely follow the permitted path (using Google Maps + waypoints or a hybrid OSRM/geometry-based approach)
Handle mandatory safety bypasses correctly
Add a weight stations layer on the map
Add bridge clearance data/layer for major bridges
Include a route verification feature (side-by-side comparison between permit text and generated route)
Clean, professional, trucker-friendly UI (mobile-friendly)

We’ve tried multiple iterations, but the same problems keep returning. I believe the current architecture has limitations for this level of precision.

What I’m Looking For:
I’m looking for someone experienced with routing systems and Google Maps / OSRM who can help redesign or significantly improve the routing logic to achieve high corridor accuracy.

Tech Stack:
React + TypeScript
Google Maps JavaScript API
Node.js / Express
Currently exploring OSRM for geometry-based routing

To Apply:
Please reply with a short answer to this question:

Briefly share your experience with Google Maps routing and/or OSRM/geometry-based routing, and how long you think it would take to make Kansas reliable.

I will also attach a sample Kansas permit route for reference.

This is a serious project. I’m looking for someone who can prove they can deliver a reliable solution.
