How to measure curb distances (curb miles) or street distances in an area?

Question

How does one calculate curb miles of streets within specific areas?

I have a layer that is a map with the areas.

And I have a layer that has streets based on the Linear Referencing System (LRS) data contained within this feature class providing  dissolved route segmentation (i.e. routes are not segmented when they intersect other routes), thus rendering one table record per route.

Measures: The linear reference is based on Official State Mileage (OSM) as derived from reference points at Roadway Inventory Management System (RIMS) roadway intersections (i.e. nodes/junctions).

And I see a field Shape__Length I assume are the road lengths.

@MarkDoehnert Since you have the streets based  Linear Referencing System (LRS), this geo-reporting can be done simply by Locate Features Along Routes

Locating polygon features along routes computes the route and measure information at the geometric intersection of polygon data and route data. Once polygon data has been located along routes, the resulting event table can be used, for example, to calculate the length of route that traveled through each polygon.

Tool parameters in this user scenario:

Input feature: layer with areas

Route features: LRS streets

Output Event: as line with From-Measure Field and To-Measure Field. The difference will give you the curb miles of streets within specific areas.

Depending on the segmentation of your streets, you may have to perform a dissolve/merge and play with the tool parameters. Hope this Helps!
