Pedestrian Master Plan Mapping

Filed Under Uncategorized 

Attached to this discussion thread at my.greatcity.org are some fascinating maps from a recent Pedestrian Master Plan Advisory Group meeting.

Now, these are drafts. The outside consultants and SDOT were seeking input from the advisory group and the maps will change based on that input. But the approach is fascinating. By capturing a rich set of data about health, accidents, traffic, existing conditions, etc, a picture begins to emerge about where the city needs to focus its efforts. This approach will be refined over the next month or two.

The feedback from the committee was generally positive, with some warnings to make sure that data did not overwhelm the human story, and to “ground-truth” the results of the analysis and not just rely on the story told by data.
