PROJECT PRIORITIZATION
An important part of this plan is the development of a priority process. This document identifies priority elements with a view of each location of a curb ramp or signal push button, allowing for review of existing conditions and the data for prioritizing upgrades or corrections. That data will feed the city’s GIS (Geographic Information System), creating priority projects.
