I was just at the the Tools of the Trade conference in South Carolina
and there was a presentation on tools that may be of relevance; 1)
Sidewalk Scout: A crowdsourcing smartphone app used by agencies and the
public to report sidewalk problems. 2) Sidewalk Sentry: A tablet
application used to inventory sidewalks and assess sidewalk quality,
and, 3) The Sidewalk Prioritization Index. It is abstract B7
(http://www.trbtoolsofthetrade.org/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361116/combined_abstrac…)
and the authors are in your neck of the woods. I was not at the
presentation but I believe Randy Guensler presented.
Another place to look would be with the cities and possible the TMIP
(travel model improvement program) list serve. If you are not on TMIP
let me know and we can get you signed up so you can post.

Hello all,
We at CDC are interested in developing a national sidewalk registry
with an accompanying application that assists cities/towns in creating
sidewalk GIS layers. Is anyone aware of others working on a similar
project? Thanks for any info. Feel free to reply directly to xdh5(a)cdc.gov
