State of Good Repair is difficult to quantify in a pedestrian context. Dozens and dozens of variables can affect the utility of the pedestrian network, and these variables change depending upon the environmental context (urban, suburban, rural). Moreover, pedestrian infrastructure, in general, is subject to far less rigorous assessment and monitoring in relation to its maintenance and overall condition… certainly when compared with bridges, railroads, or roads. This paper attempts to posit a definition for SOGR for pedestrian facilities and put forth a scoring mechanism transportation agencies and municipalities can use to monitor the pedestrian network’s state of repair in a variety of contexts. |
