Inventory of absent and existing sidewalks, driveways and pedestrian facilities for the City of Austin.
This layer depicts an inventory of sidewalk infrastructure. This data was collected in 2006/2007 as part of the sidewalk master plan.

This indicator measures the percent of citizens living within one-quarter mile walking distance of a park or accessible open space if inside the urban core or half-mile walking distance of a park or accessible opens space if outside the urban core.

This data set supports HE.C.1. of SD23.

This dataset describes infrastructure conditions at the network level for assets included in the 2020 Comprehensive Infrastructure Assessment (CIA). Conditions presented in this dataset are not weighted by Current Replacement Value. Data for the CIA is collected every two years.

Data comes from the survey of participating departments conducted every two years during the compilation of the CIA. Each row of the table shows the distribution of asset conditions for an infrastructure network for the year listed.

This dataset provides an overall view of infrastructure condition for all assets included in the Comprehensive Infrastructure Assessment (CIA) for that year. Overall condition is calculated by multiplying condition percentages for each network by the current replacement value for that network. These values are then added up for each condition, and divided by the total current replacement value to calculate the percentage of all assets in each condition. Assets that do not have current replacement values or for which condition is unknown are excluded from these calculations.

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) projects include over 4600 total recommendations for improving safety for students walking and biking to school. Of those, 1864 recommendations rank high or very-high benefit and are the focus of implementation.

All SRTS projects are selected for implementation using the following guiding principles:
1) Implement projects that have either a high / very-high overall benefit; or a high / very high cost / benefit score,
2) Make meaningful improvements walking and bicycling to as many schools as possible;
3) For the 2016 bond funding, balance funding equally per district, as per council direction;
4) Other available sources of funding will be leveraged to implement additional projects.

This dataset is collected & compiled by the Street & Bridge Operations division under the Public Works Department. The street network consisted of about 2525 miles of streets and just over 7863 lane miles of pavement in fiscal year 2019. Since many streets consist of multiple lanes, there are about three times as many lane miles as miles of streets. We report based on lane miles, rather than street miles in order to better capture the public's driving experience.

Data is collected by a contacted vendor, who drives the streets using a specially equipped vehicle that records the data used to determine street condition. The vendor drives every lane of every street in the city, covering about half of the city every year. Street condition is then classified as "Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory" based on national street engineering standards.

The measure's outcome reflects the ratio of satisfactory lane miles in the City's street inventory to the total number of lane miles in the City's street inventory. This measure is also a Key Performance Indicator for the Public Works Department, which means that it helps PWD constantly gauge the quality of City's street network, identify priority areas that need work, and take data-informed decisions on keeping the street network in serviceable conditions.

This dataset supports measure M.E.8 under the 'Mobility' outcome of Strategic Direction 2023.

Data Source: Street & Bridge Operations Calculation: Ratio of satisfactory (fair to excellent) lane miles in the City's street inventory to the total number of lane miles in the City's street inventory.

Measure Time Period: Annual (Calendar Year)

Automated: No Date of last description update:

This table contains aggregated bridge condition data for each fiscal year beginning in FY2015. The major structures having openings of 20 feet or greater are inspected every other year by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Inspection of the smaller minor structures is not mandated by the Federal government and is managed entirely by the City.

This measure tracks the percentage of lane miles managed by the City of Austin that had preventive maintenance completed. Preventive maintenance of existing pavements extends the life of the surfaces and reduces the amount of capital investment required on City streets each year. Asphalt overlaying, thin surface treatments, and crack sealing existing surfaces are the primary components of what constitutes the City's Preventive Maintenance program.

This dataset supports the measure M.E.3 within the Mobility outcome under the Strategic Direction 2023 initiative.

Data Source: Pavement Management Information System, Street & Bridge Operations

Calculation:
Total number of lane miles of street preventative maintenance completed* / Total number of lane miles managed

*Total number of lane miles of street preventative maintenance completed = Lane miles of overlay completed + lane miles of preventative maintenance crack seal completed + lane miles of preventative maintenance thin surface treatments completed.

Measure Time Period: Quarterly (Fiscal Year)

Automated: No

This dataset contains data about the conditions of sidewalks maintained by the City of Austin Public Works Department. It does not include sidewalks maintained by private parties or other government entities.

This network currently contains about 2700 miles of sidewalks, of which 616 miles have been assessed. Condition assessment is a manual process, requiring people to walk the sidewalks, measure their conditions, and record observations and measurements in a cloud database that is tied to a map of the sidewalks. This dataset describes conditions as of the FY2019 assessment, which includes all high priority and very high priority sidewalks as described in the City of Austin Sidewalk Master Plan adopted in June 2016. Lower priority sidewalks are present in the dataset, but without an assessment of their condition. Assessment of the remaining part of the network should be completed by the conclusion of FY2021.
