Sidewalk and Ramp Collection Project for the Community Development Block Grant Program

Census Tracts 9205 and 9206

Walla Walla | GIS


CDBG program and the role of GIS In 2014 the City of Walla Walla became a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement city, meaning Walla Walla will transition from the state’s competitive CDBG “Small Cities” program, to direct annual funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Funds are to be focused primarily on activities which benefit low to moderate income households. The funding amount will vary from year to year; this year’s grant amount is $384,079. As a condition of funding, HUD requires development of a 5-Year Consolidated Plan which is an analysis of community needs and the resources available to meet those needs. Information gathered for the plan included sources such as: census data, citizen involvement, existing plans, input from city departments, and outreach to community stakeholders. Two needs identified for Walla Walla’s first year of funding include identifying sidewalks, and ADA ramps. To support the city’s CDBG program, the GIS department collected location and attribute data in order to analyze data and produce maps of existing conditions and show areas where projects can be focused. The maps not only aid staff; they inform stakeholders and the public how and where the city and HUD’s CDBG funding are making a meaningful contribution to neighborhoods and the residents’ quality of life. The maps are an invaluable tool to aid in the understanding of the scope and significance of the work.

Data development and work flow: 1. Use orthophotos and Google Street

View to identify and digitize ramp

locations

2. Field collect ramp attributes and photo;

collect sidewalk as point feature class

3. Download data to office

4. Digitize sidewalks as line feature class

5. Calculate Condition Rating

and QAQC
