Julie - We just released an update to the Election Management solution in March that includes several updates and new capabilities. One of those updates is a new Field Map and Instant App (with ArcGIS Tasks) that replaces ArcGIS Workforce. Here is a link to the update - https://www.arcgis.com/apps/solutions/election-management FYI @AndyShoemaker

This February, we’re launching a major update to the ArcGIS Solutions app that enriches our extensive portfolio of solutions and increases the value of an ArcGIS investment: A powerful new Solutions Assistant (Beta) that will simplify the deployment of geospatial solutions so users can focus on the unique needs of your organization. A new user experience that provides more detailed information for a given solution and access to resources that will help users configure and use it. This is just the start of several exciting enhancements we have coming in 2026. We look forward to your feedback and any ideas you have for the ArcGIS Solutions app.

@SadieBarker - We are glad you found the new diagrams. We have some very exciting things in store for the ArcGIS Solutions app in 2026 - stay tuned!

If you deployed version 2.0 of the Road Closures solution, you can deploy the Special Events solution and it will use the layer provided with Road Closures. You can then keep the workflows you describe for road closures and add any new workflows for the Special Events maps.

Jennifer - The Road Closures solution is designed to maintain a comprehensive inventory of road closures and share authoritative closures with leading consumer mapping applications. I don't anticipate us adding a polygon feature that would allow you to capture an area that might be impacted. Saying that, sharing your closures (linear features) with Esri's Community Maps Road Closures Live Feed helps you syndicate that data broadly and increase awareness when residents and visitors are in the area. If you want to capture more detailed event maps, I would take a look at our Special Events solutions. They contain a series of layers that help you develop event maps like you describe. Special Event Permitting can be used to collect special event permits, manage the permit review process, and promote special events occurring in the community. It contains a Special Event Site Map Editor you could use to develop special event site maps. Special Event Operations can be used to develop event operational maps for police and fire agencies and increase situational awareness during special events. It contains Event Operations Maps you could use to capture special event site maps and security plans. One final note - the special event solutions also use the same road closures layer used in the Road Closures solution so any closures captured for an event can be shared broadly. Scott

Wind sites, or wind farms, are locations where groups of wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind to electricity and transmit it to the electrical grid. The number, and size, of onshore and offshore wind sites are increasing as the use of sustainable energy grows. As a result, operators need to understand where assets are located on their sites and what condition they are in. If you are a renewable organization who wants to develop an authoritative inventory of wind site assets and share this information with internal stakeholders, we believe the Wind Site Data Management solution will help. Wind Site Data Management will help renewables organizations map wind electricity generation sites in 2D and 3D, edit data, view site maps in the field and office, and view asset reports.

Wildland fires are a formidable natural hazard that can be difficult to prevent and control. The rising incidence and intensity of wildfires, coupled with expanding development in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), underscore the necessity for communities to proactively prepare for wildfire hazards. Communities with high wildfire risk may even develop a formal Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to reduce wildfire risks and enhance public safety. If you are an emergency management agency or fire department who wants to formally assess wildfire risk and identify effective mitigation activities, we believe the Wildfire Protection Planning solution will help. Wildfire Protection Planning will help organizations analyze historical wildfire patterns, evaluate their effects on structures, and prioritize mitigation efforts that minimize wildfire impacts on people and property.

Many infrastructure organizations are facing increased austerity and effective project cost estimation helps utilities, public works, and many other organizations optimize their capital budgets. Accurate cost projections early in the planning process mitigate future project delays and cost overruns. If you are an organization who wants to define new capital projects from existing asset information and quickly generate initial cost estimates, we believe the Project Cost Estimator solution will help. Project Cost Estimator will help organizations create preliminary infrastructure project cost estimates and quickly update project costs as needs change.

Public transit agencies aim to provide high-quality transit services and on-time performance is one of the most common measures of an agency’s service reliability and efficiency. Maintaining on-time performance also helps transit agencies optimize route planning and scheduling, which minimizes the impact of unexpected delays. If you are a transit agency who wants to leverage real-time vehicle locations to understand how transit services align with published schedules, we believe the Transit On-Time Performance solution will help. Transit On-Time Performance will help transit agencies track on-time performance metrics in real-time and analyze historical trends in transit system efficiency.

Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) combine techniques and specific infrastructure to manage runoff and protect water quality. They can be located on public and private land and routine inspections are essential to ensure they continue to function properly. If you are an organization who wants to understand where stormwater BMP assets are located and implement a comprehensive inspection program, we believe the Stormwater BMP Inspections solution will help. Stormwater BMP Inspections will help organizations streamline stormwater inspections, manage private BMP maintenance submissions, and monitor overall BMP inspection activities.

Over the next few weeks, we will give you a sneak peek of each new solution we are delivering for state and local governments, utilities, and public safety agencies. We will try to answer any questions you might have prior to our release, and you’ll find a host of resources available for each new solution when we release in July. Sneak Peek #1: Sidewalk Management Sidewalks and curb ramps within the public right-of-way are essential community assets. Walkable pedestrian infrastructures significantly enhance the quality of life for all residents. Unfortunately, sidewalks and curb ramps deteriorate over time and accessibility standards have driven the need for further improvements. If you are an organization who wants to understand where sidewalks are present in your community, and what condition these assets are in, we believe the Sidewalk Management solution will help. Sidewalk Management will help organizations create a comprehensive inventory of sidewalks and curb ramps, streamline assessment and maintenance activities, and understand conditions and compliance.

The ability to deploy individual information products in an ArcGIS Solution is something we are considering long-term. I would encourage everyone to use the What you Get and new ArcGIS Solutions Diagrams to learn more about the information products in a solution. The diagrams offer a comprehensive view of each ArcGIS item contained in a solution and helps you quickly understand dependencies between items. It will help you quickly understand which ArcGIS items you might need if you just want to use a specific capability in a solution.

Road closures can throw a wrench into our daily routines and travel plans. While email, social media, and government websites are commonly used to share this information, most of us rely on consumer mapping apps to get around. To tackle these challenges, Esri has taken a significant step forward by enhancing its Community Maps Program. Now, ArcGIS users can seamlessly provide road closure data to Apple Maps and TomTom, ensuring that residents and visitors have the most up-to-date information at their fingertips. If you're an ArcGIS user, start contributing road closure data today and help improve the way we navigate our world.

@GrantHopkins1 - We have been working with the ArcGIS development team to introduce similar capabilities on all ArcGIS items. You could then see dependencies across items you create in your AGOL organization or ArcGIS Enterprise portal. No firm release date yet, but it's coming.
