Project Background
Curb Ramps are an important element of the City of Oakland’s Transition Plan for the Disabled Community.The location and inventory of existing curb ramps needs to be determined for the city to be responsive to the Disabled Community.The consultant team of Geotopo and 3D Visions was hired to create a geospatial database of curb ramp locations with City limits.

Project GoalsConduct an inventory of the location, type, and condition for City curb ramps. Use GIS technology for efficiently collecting of high quality dataProvide quality assurance for data collection accuracy and completeness. Produce maps to show curb ramp status.

Inventory: Methodology & Process
Collected field data using an electronic hand-held device- PDA (Personal Data Assistant)Daily updates to Desktop computer using ArcViewQuality assurance checks for completeness and accuracy.

Inventory: Data CollectionVisit 100% of Locations in City Centerline Coverage Estimated 25,000 intersections CitywideSplit City into 12 zones using city planning neighborhoodsSix Person Field Crew working in teams of two completed effort in 40 days.

Inventory: Data Collection Exceptions
Locations may be missing from Database if… Streets exist, but not in City database Streets in database, but not found in City Mid-blocks were collected when found Private Property and Private Streets were
excluded from the inventory

Database Production
Integration of multiple datasetsReview %100 of points for positional accuracy Ensured accuracy of 1:1000
