Update on GIS Inventory

Our priorities

• Create a seamless, standardized regional GIS dataset
• f 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

• III. What’s the Web Portal?

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
