When it comes to signing up for deliveries, riders get a basic idea of where they'll be going based on the "Dropoff Neighbourhood" in the table on the rider signup page (campaigns/signup/:id/). However, some of the neighborhoods associated with addresses aren't exactly correct. Some addresses are listed as being on the island when really they aren't. In a very real case, They're just closer to the Lake, roughly.
For PII reasons, we don't list the exact addresses of where riders would be delivering and instead use this drop-off neighbourhood column to describe the area. However, the data set in which we derive the neighborhood from has some issues. Namely, some neighbourhoods are being listed as being on the island when really they're just close to the island or on the lake and therefore riders aren't going to them.
I haven’t looked closely into where this is happening in the codebase, but I suspect that somewhere we’re storing neighbourhoods and it might be a means of changing what’s in the database or maybe just doing a string replacement on the instances where "the island" shows up.
