This project verifies the dimensions of the catch basins in order to provide a variable to record and measure stormwater drainage. As requested by the city, we validated the locations of catch basins for a subset of Pacific Grove and added attributes for dimensions.

The purpose of this project was to identify changes in in the previous tree inventory in pacific grove, like trees that have been removed or the tree density. With the data collected we will estimate the change in trees since previous inventories in a percentage

The city of Pacific Grove requested that a particular area of their city be mapped showing where handicap ramps, specifically sidewalk-to-street ramps, are located. The purpose of mapping the locations of these handicap ramps is to determine where other handicap ramps might be needed or improved upon. It is important that the city of Pacific Grove make sure that there are handicap ramps in locations around their city so that those people who use wheelchairs, walkers, motorized scooters and even people who use strollers for their children are able to get around. Without these sidewalk-to-street ramps, accessibility would be severely decreased while also acting as a hazard to those who have need of the ramps to get around.

]]>
This project maps street light density in Pacific Grove. Mapping street light density would be useful in determining when deciding where to construct or remove street lights. Sometimes in cities, there is too much or too little light on certain roads. Bigger roads that generally have more traffic need more light and quieter neighborhood roads usually have less lighting. It is important that a sufficient number of streetlights are placed throughout the city to help maintain the safety of citizens at night.

]]>
The purpose of this project was to identify the changes that have occurred since the last tree inventory that the city of Pacific Grove conducted and the one we did this semester. Once the data was collected, we used it to analyze changes in trees, the percent change in the trees, areas of potential change and the area of lowest tree density.

This project uses ArcGIS techniques to create a plan to revive the native tree species in the Monterey Peninsula area. Save the Trees will analyze the tree density in Pacific Grove and determine areas suitable for new trees to be planted. In doing so, the team will find the areas with the richest and poorest areas of vegetation in Pacific Grove, as well.

Dr. Fernandez’s Infrastructure Systems class partnered with San Juan Bautista and Pacific Grove to analyze cities throughout California which similarly compared to our partner cities. Students collected
data for various categories including general government, transportation, housing, tourism & recreation,
water, weather, sustainability, facilities, finances, and fire/EMF. Students worked to find cities that
similarly compared to five target cities of their choosing and our partner cities in order to aim towards
more successful city planning. This paper summarizes students data collection and analysis, including
additional analysis in regards to our partner cities. This summary works to find the most similar cities to
our partner cities based off of the entire class’ data collection in order to make logical future steps for city
planning. Future steps include completing the data set for all target cities and checking for validity for all
resources and data inputted; this project can be divided into four parts for each partner city in lieu of
additional target cities, one being public works which can include all categories, transportation,
recreation, and approved budget for 2020-2021.
