The data will be used to rate sidewalk quality, and the city will use that information to plan for renewals, maintenance and funding in the future.
Over the next few months, the approximately 3,200 kilometres of sidewalks and pathways throughout the city will be assessed by the new tech, noting details like length, width, material and whether there are any hazards.
The two surface testers, which the city described in a release as having the appearance of a “futuristic-looking quad,” will continue to collect the same data every three years.“This new technology will make a real difference in how we keep sidewalks in good shape,” Mayor Scott Gillingham said.“By using these advanced tools, we’re improving how we assess and maintain our infrastructure, which means better service for all Winnipeggers.
