River Walk Project
GIS
Project 2
Our
goal is to develop a useable map of the Arkansas River Walk area.
This map will be used by several different agencies as the ARW
develops into a first class recreational facility over the next few
years. You will be able to
watch the development of the river walk project when you return to Cañon
City on vacations from college or your job. The long-term goal is to have the ARW stretching from the
west end of tunnel drive to the east side of Florence Colorado.
Eventually the river walk will move away from the dirt and gravel
covering to a more refined surface like concrete or paver bricks.
There will be more natural plants moved into the area to attract
even more wildlife and there will be covered resting stations and
additional benches along with rest rooms and drinking fountains.
If you have ever been in other cities with well developed river
walks you already share part of my vision of our future river walk.

What
ever our river walk is to become we will need a map for planning,
visitor use, emergency response, maintenance and future grant proposals.
We need to show adjacent property and we will also plot zoning
restrictions on this map in the future.
Our
team
will work on this map in four sections.
-
Tunnel
Drive to 1st Street
-
1St
Street to 9th Street
-
9th
Street to Raynolds Avenue
-
Raynolds
Avenue to Mackenzie Avenue
These
graphics we are overlaying with CAD lines are from the Fremont County
GIS Software.
GIS-
What's that mean to you?
When
each of these sections are finished we will assemble the parts into one
map to be added as a theme to the GIS
ArcView software so that the Cañon City Rec. Dist. and several other
agencies can use it. Please
use the preset layer configuration on your Cadvance
file. Come see Mr. Geesaman to get your (300 point) section
assignment. |
