Sidewalk Inventory Project

To assist with planning efforts to help communities in the region

become more pedestrian-friendly and accessible, DVRPC is

developing a new regional sidewalk inventory and an

online platform for a shared regional conversation on local

and regional walkability.

Examples of Sidewalk Inventories

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Numerous sidewalk inventories have been created in the DVRPC region so we’re fortunate that we will be able to build from these inventories. These inventories, however, were created using various methodologies and also vary in what attributes (information) were collected. On the Pennsylvania side of our region, each county has a sidewalk inventory of some kind. This is a snapshot showing Spring City Borough, Chester County, the GIS data “lines up” with the sidewalk. Note that this dataset is not connected where there are crosswalks. The dataset contains attributes like street name and owner type Chester County’s Sidewalk GIS Dataset http://data1-chesco.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/394fecd305a44e94b38a0c41e4ae439d_0

Presentation Notes
In Montgomery County, PA, sidewalks were created as an attribute of the STREET, so when visualizing the data in GIS, it’s not spatially accurate. Here’s an example in Royersford. Again, note that crosswalks are not part of the sidewalk network.

Presentation Notes
Where the datasets meet along county borders is where corrections to existing inventories will need to be made. Again, looking at Spring City and Royersford, you’ll see that the networks are not contiguous along Bridge Street/Main Street.

We surveyed DVRPC staff in Winter 2017 and received 32 responses We surveyed municipalities/related organizations in Summer 2017 and received 140 responses

THE PLAN - Select a consultant to create seamless, standardized GIS

dataset of sidewalks in the DVRPC region - Build from existing networks - Create new features where datasets don’t exist - Includes the following pedestrian facilities

• Crosswalks • Multipurpose trails and other non-sidewalk pedestrian facilities • Curb ramps/ADA pedestrian facilities

• Continue to improve the inventory

• Share the product with our planning partners through an online platform

What we’d like to do with the regional sidewalk inventory

Sidewalk Inventory Project

This portal will provide a space to allow collaboration between local and regional planning partners working on pedestrian improvements. This secure online interface will (1) provide access to and accommodate maintenance of the regional sidewalk inventory by local entities and (2) to allow local and regional planning partners to share their pedestrian facility priorities (such as those identified in their comprehensive/ master plans or those for which they seek grant funding) on an interactive map. Work will begin in Pennsylvania to support PennDOT Connects, and later be adapted as the sidewalk inventory extends into our New Jersey counties.
