Clayton County to Introduce Smart Pedestrian Plan to Residents
NEWS RELEASE Clayton County to Introduce Smart Pedestrian Plan to Residents (Jonesboro, GA)-As a Georgia Smart Communities Challenge Award recipient, Clayton County plans to use a $75,000 grant, awarded by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), to implement a Smart Pedestrian Plan. Clayton County will build a decision support system to assist with sidewalk project prioritization to promote mobility equity throughout the county. Residents of Clayton can register to participate in two informational webinars hosted by the Clayton County Georgia Smart Communities team to learn more about the project. The project allows 30 local high school students to participate as part-time employees. The students will use new semi-automated data collection methods to inventory roadsides, sidewalks, and main pedestrian corridors to build a robust database to support the pedestrian asset management system. The system will assist in identifying high impact infrastructure maintenance and development based on building out new connections between regions and improving Americans with Disabilities Accessibility (ADA).
