The use of the Winter Weather solutions has given the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) a holistic view of operations and has streamlined snowplowing both in the field and the office. The real-time data has allowed MPRB to work proactively, respond to plowing needs live in the field, and transparently communicate with the public.

If you're headed to the 2023 Esri International User Conference and are interested in Public Works, we have prepared a flier to help you plan your week. It contains suggested activities. It includes showcase hours, demo theater, tech workshops, SIG & User Group, user presentations, & the State & Local Gov Social. You can find it here:

See you there!

Transform your right-of-way with GIS

Upcoming webinars for right-of-way management

Organizations are rethinking their use and management of right-of-way (ROW) as they prepare for the next generation of infrastructure. Whether it be for broadband, renewable energy, utilities, or transportation, managing ROW is a spatial business. By embracing a geographic approach, you can make data-driven decisions around all aspects of right-of-way. Ensure your organization is ready for capital investments by using GIS to protect, enforce, and maintain the right-of-way. Join Esri’s team of experts as they bring you the GIS information you need to know.

SAP, Esri & HERE Technologies are partnering together to provide a demo of an Intelligent Data Application solving a real-world problem: Optimal Electric Vehicle Charging Station Placement.

Working with Esri partner SymGEO, a Maryland-based GIS company specializing in ArcGIS Hub, ArcGIS Online, and state and local government solutions, the Vision Zero team at the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) used ArcGIS Hub to create a consolidated home for information on current and upcoming traffic safety projects. The site includes dashboards and maps that provide an interactive user experience and display information, such as detailed crash and road improvement project statics and crash locations, overlaid on demographic data. The hub site also serves as a robust educational tool for promoting safe traveling behaviors.

As the transportation agency for the second-most populous county in the state and with over 1,000 plowable lane miles, roughly the distance from Chicago to Denver, Colorado, the DuPage County Division of Transportation (DuDOT) is responsible for keeping its streets clear and as safe as possible to ensure the area runs smoothly during the winter months. Winter weather can be challenging for the Chicago metropolitan area, but DuPage County is well prepared to handle snow and ice, thanks to its GIS-enabled snowplow operations. This past snow season, it experienced 22 snow events.

Mike Figuray, manager of highway operations, looks forward to each snow season to start its snow operations and launch Esri's Winter Weather Solution to plan the most efficient routes, use real-time tracking capability, and visualize all streams of operation data on an interactive map.
