GIS staff takes on keeping RoW management data up to date

November 22, 2017

PDS’ GIS staff believes so strongly in the capabilities of a software program that it’s committed to inputting local data to help Kenton and Campbell jurisdictions save precious tax dollars. Staff members are reaching out now to the counties, the municipalities, and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for their 2018 pavement projects so they can be uploaded to the LINK-GIS right-of-way management tool by Accela.

Once online, these project data can be viewed alongside maintenance project data entered by SD1, the Northern Kentucky Water District, Duke Energy, Owen Electric, Spectrum, and Cincinnati Bell. The goal is to increase communication and coordination for street cuts and paving projects. The result will cut down frustrations felt by the motoring public, decrease the need for pavement cuts, and ultimately save taxpayer and rate payer dollars through cooperative construction efforts.

“All participating entities will be able to see each other’s current and upcoming projects through the software program’s central dashboard. This will illustrate conflicts and opportunities to work together,” said Trisha Brush, GISP, PDS’ director for GIS administration. “Unfortunately, the system is only as good as the data that are put into it.”

“To make sure the software program functions effectively, PDS staff will input local governments’ and utilities’ projects for next season as soon as we receive them,” Brush said.

Kyle Ryan, Coordinating Engineer with the Northern Kentucky Water District commented, “Coordinating water main replacement with planned roadway improvements reduces restoration costs and helps protect the cities’ roadway investments from potential damage caused by breaks and routine maintenance of aging infrastructure.”

“It can also provide our customers with better water service because these projects often produce increased flows for the cities’ fire departments. And, it can relieve traffic congestion for residents who are burdened with one combined construction period verses two separate projects spread over several years,” concluded Ryan.

Email Trisha Brush or call her at 859.331.8980 for more information on the software program or PDS’ efforts to save local tax dollars.
