2016 WLIA Annual Conference

This presentation will address how GIS applications have been used for bicycle and pedestrian planning, safe routes to school (SRTS) planning and public engagement. Attendees will learn about how to conduct bicycle and walk audits and they are used by SRTS coalitions and local communities to develop recommendations. East Central staff is also working with local jurisdictions and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation on the College Avenue Corridor project. The purpose of the project is to decide what transportation modes (i.e. motor vehicle, transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities) should be considered on this corridor in the future. For this project, East Central staff has developed an interactive website where community members can provide comments and feedback on the transportation challenges and opportunities that exist along the corridor.
