Pedestrian Facilities and Planning Portal Kickoff Meeting II. Update on GIS Inventory Kim Korejko, DVRPC

Project Timeline* PA NJ Procurement & Implementation Development Ongoing Outreach

Update on GIS Inventory Our priorities • Create a seamless, standardized regional GIS dataset of pedestrian facilities for the nine-county region • Collect the following features & attributes Sidewalk centerlines ■ line created if sidewalk is present ○ use street centerlines and existing inventories to guide data ○ collection Curb ramps ■ point placed at center of curb ramp/end of sidewalk ○ Crosswalks ■ line created where crosswalks exist or should exist ○ Trails ■

Update on GIS Inventory

Update on GIS Inventory Attributes • Sidewalk centerlines no attributes related to existing condition at this time ■ (if it didn’t already exist) • Curb ramps if curb ramp is distinguishable using aerial imagery, it is ■ indicated as present, if not, it is marked for review location of curb ramp (diagonal/non-diagonal) ■ • Crosswalks marking type (unmarked, parallel, ladder, etc.) ■

Update on GIS Inventory

Update on GIS Inventory Challenges with GIS inventory • Standards for pedestrian data don’t exist • Stitching together and standardizing existing inventories • Limitations on what’s visible using aerial imagery • Sources of aerial imagery aren’t the same across the region • At this time, nothing is ground-truthed • No structure in place to allow for regular updates and maintenance of data Shout-out!

Pedestrian Facilities and Planning Portal Kickoff Meeting III. What’s the Web Portal? Kim Korejko, DVRPC Jesse Buerk, DVRPC

What’s the Web Portal? Goals • Provides access to and accommodate maintenance and enhancement of the pedestrian facilities inventory by interested entities • Create a shared space to promote existing walking initiatives across the region and engage the public • Provide a space to promote and share our pedestrian successes • Allow municipal, county, regional, and state planning partners to share their pedestrian facility priorities Vertical collaboration! ■

What’s the Web Portal? PennDOT Connects “Find creative solutions to sustain and expand mobility throughout the Commonwealth”

What’s the Web Portal? Benefits • More walkable communities • More efficient priority setting • Improved decision-making • Greater regional transparency • Lower costs of maintaining valuable data • Enhanced outreach and community involvement • Increased likelihood of cost-effective implementation • Significant competitive advantage for future grant funding
