From 2020 to reach the minimum threshold of 131 miles necessary to through 2023 the Streets Department will be able to meet maintain city streets in a good state of repair. The City has and sustain 131 miles of repaving each fiscal year. made substantial progress towards this goal, by adding an additional paving crew to increase productivity in 2018. The new paving crew, combined with additional funding from the administration, has significantly increased the number of Annual Paving Miles 2016 to 2023 repaved roadway miles. A total of 77 miles of repaving was completed in 2018, and current repaving operations are on 150 track to complete 95 miles for 2019. This represents a 238 percent increase in repaving productivity over the last five 100 fiscal years. 50 0 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 philadelphiastreets.com 5 The Department will post the 2019 Paving Program Schedule on its website philadelphiastreets.com and provide weekly notifications of specific work performed on each block philadelphiastreets.com 6 Street Selection Process Street Paving Process The Streets Department’s paving list is generated annually After the paving schedule is set, the streets are ready to be and refined during the winter months in preparation for paved. The work to repair and improve roadways ranges from resurfacing activities that begin in the spring and continue pothole patching to resurfacing to road reconstruction. A through the fall of each year weather permitting. The resurfacing project typically includes removal of the top layer Department compiles the paving program list by prioritizing of current asphalt and placement of a new layer of asphalt. As streets based on an index rating and national industry needed, separate contracts for upgrades to federally required standards for municipal streets. Streets that exhibit certain ADA wheelchair ramps are bid. New curbs and sidewalks are signs of roadway failure, damage or deterioration will not included in resurfacing projects. Every street is different, generally receive the most consideration for maintenance, so all resurfacing projects vary in scope, cost, and time to repair and resurfacing. Vehicle traffic counts and crash ratios complete. In addition, any work in the process may be delayed are also considered. Other factors include available funding in the event of inclement weather or special events. sources, storm water control needs, and future utility and construction projects. Once the paving season begins the Streets Department notifies the public of upcoming paving work on each block. The Department maintains a database with the paving The Department will post the 2019 Paving Program Schedule history for each block as well as records of inspections on on its website philadelphiastreets.com, provide weekly road conditions. The Department uses an adaption of the notifications of specific work performed on each block and Pavement Condition Index (PCI) survey procedure developed send automated phone messages to residents homes with by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

This is usually done in preparation necessary prior to performing the resurfacing operations on for paving. Although the Streets Department takes steps a project. These adjustments are normally simple and take to minimize the inconvenience, milling requires trucks and only a matter of hours but complex adjustments can take up specialized machinery to remove the asphalt.

  • The First Design for Fairmount Park
    The First Design for Fairmount Park AIRMOUNT PARK IN PHILADELPHIA is one of the great urban parks of America, its importance in landscape history exceeded only by FNew York’s Central Park. Its name derives from the “Faire Mount” shown on William Penn’s plan of 1682, where the Philadelphia Museum of Art now perches, and where the gridded Quaker city suddenly gives way to an undulating scenery of river and park. Measuring over 3,900 acres, it is one of the world’s largest municipal parks. Nonetheless, for all its national importance, the origin of the park, its philosophical founda- tions, and its authorship have been misunderstood in the literature.1 About the principal dates there is no dispute: in 1812–15 a municipal waterworks was built on the banks of the Schuylkill, the site of which soon became a popular resort location and a subject of picturesque paintings; in 1843 the city began to acquire tracts of land along the river to safeguard the water supply; in 1859 the city held a competition for the design of a picturesque park; finally, in 1867, the Fairmount Park Commission was established to oversee a much larger park, whose layout was eventually entrusted to the German landscape architect Hermann J. Schwarzmann. This is the version rehearsed in all modern accounts of the park. All texts agree that 1867 marks the origin of the park, in conception and execution. They depict the pre–Civil War events as abortive and inconclusive; in particular, they dismiss the 1859 competition. According to George B. Tatum, writing in 1961, a series of “plans were prepared,” I am indebted to five generous colleagues who read this manuscript and contributed suggestions: Therese O’Malley of CASVA; Sheafe Satterthwaite and E.

  • Extending the Enterprise to the Edge Your Guide to Converging Operational and Information Technology
    Extending the Enterprise to the Edge Your Guide to Converging Operational and Information Technology Traditionally, agencies have approached information technology as a separate discipline from operational technology, which includes data acquisition systems, control systems, industrial-class networks, and a wide variety of internet-connected devices that operate far beyond the walls of the data center. However, it is increasingly clear that the data gathered at the edge of operations can provide in- sights that agencies can use to improve the efficiency of their operations and deliver new services to support the mission. The key? Converging OT capabilities with enterprise-class IT systems in single box and deploying them at the edge. GovLoop, Affigent and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) collaborated on this worksheet to help you take advantage of this new wave of edge computing. Three Ways to Leverage OT-IT Convergence The benefits of converging OT and IT systems fall into three main categories: Physical systems Software and data Process convergence convergence convergence IT systems (compute, storage, Enterprise IT applications IT and OT teams agree to collaborate management, and security) collaborating with OT applications on end-to-end workflows and integrate in the same system chassis are applied to both traditional dataflows. with OT systems (data acquisition enterprise data and data derived systems, control systems, and at the edge. industrial networks). Leveraging Data at the Edge: A Framework By integrating OT and IT systems, agencies can create a flow of data from the enterprise out to the edge.

T ASKS A SSOCIATED W ITH R ESTORATION A CTIVITIES 4.A.1. Introduction The project to prepare a natural lands restoration master plan for Fairmount (East/West) Park began in October 1997. Numerous site visits were conducted in Fairmount (East/West) Park with the Fairmount Park Commission (FPC) District #1 Manager and staff, community members, Natural Lands Restoration and Environmental Education Program (NLREEP) staff and Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) staff. Informal meetings at the Park’s district office were held to solicit information and opinions from district staff. Additionally, ANSP participated in the NLREEP Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings in March and October 1998. These meetings were used to solicit ideas and develop contacts with other environmental scientists and land managers. A meeting was also held with ANSP, NLREEP and FPC engineering staff to discuss completed and planned projects in or affecting natural lands in Fairmount (East/West) Park. A variety of informal contacts, such as speaking at meetings of Friends groups and other clubs, and discussions during field visits provided additional input. ANSP, NLREEP and the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) set up a program of quarterly meetings to discuss various issues of joint interest. These meetings are valuable in obtaining information useful in planning restoration and in developing concepts for cooperative programs. As a result of these meetings, PWD staff reviewed the list of priority stream restoration sites proposed for Fairmount (East/West) Park.
