Rate My Street is a UK-based site that allows users to rate their favorite (or least-favorite) stretch of street based on eight key factors (e.g. pavement width, trip hazards, clean/attractive). There's also a space to add a detailed description of street conditions or tips about nieghborhood character. Given the general dearth of data about pedestrian conditions in cities, this could be a really useful tool for planners as they try to understand and improve walkability: http://www.ratemystreet.co.uk/
Along the same lines, Car Free Chicago has put together a similar site for transit stops in the city:
