The Shorthorn senior staff
Arlington officials are entering the second cycle of an ongoing mapping and analysis survey
to study road deterioration and
identify what streets need improvement.
On Monday, the Arlington
Public Works and Transportation
Department invited Arlington
citizens to observe the next stage
in the mapping process, which
includes studying conditions surrounding UTA.
In 2005, the city hired engineering company Applied Research Associates, Inc.
to conduct
a four-month citywide road analysis to measure roads and map
conditions to better maintain city
roads.
Every two to three years, the
agency returns to study street deterioration.
The agency uses a specialized
van with infrared lasers to scan
roads and map
City tests Arlington roads
SAFETY
Ongoing street inspections
reach campus to document
street conditions.
