Updated Inventory and Assessment of Curbs and Gutters in Denver, Colorado
The curb and gutter inventory of the city and county of Denver was established in 2004. The current round of data collection was initiated in the summer of 2011. The equipment used in previous data collection was good, but some significant problems were uncovered during the collection process. Updated more economical units including a Panasonic Toughbook tablet computer and Arc geographic information system (ArcGIS) program are being utilized in current inspection. By the end of 2012, 2,647 km (1,645 mi) out of 5,311 km (3,300 mi) of curbs and gutters had been inspected. Previously developed simplified condition index (SCI) was employed and calculated for the completed inventory to examine the overall condition of curbs and gutters. By comparing the data in 2004 and 2012 for 8,000 common streets, the overall SCI dropped approximately 3.8 over about a period of eight years. It indicates a deteriorating rate of approximately 0.5 SCI per year.
