Google has announced the winners of its Street View Trike suggestions contest – a contest that started last October with Google inviting the public to tell the company where to send its trike for hard-to-reach Street View images.

With nearly a quarter-million votes cast, Google says the winners are:

• Rochester Institute of Technology (Rochester, New York)
• Boulder Creek Path (Boulder, Colorado)
• Faneuil Hall Marketplace (Boston, Massachusetts)
• National Mall (Washington, DC)
• Detroit Zoo (Detroit, Michigan)

Google says it’s working with officials at each winning location to setup a time “in the coming months” for the Street View Trike to visit.
