We were contracted by the North Country Healthy Heart Network (NCHHN) to map out Franklin County’s road infrastructure and to create a database that can be used for walking and cycling. There is currently no inventory of roadside shoulders and sidewalks in Franklin County, and by using GIS mapping we will be able to fill that demand. The final product will include a GIS shape file database of all the roadside sidewalks in Franklin County, a GIS map of all the shoulders on village, county, and state roads within village limits, and an online map for stakeholders to access.
The North Country Healthy Heart Network works in Clinton, Essex, and Franklin Counties to build foundations for healthier communities through a variety of avenues including promoting physical activity, improving access to healthier foods, and creating policy to encourage the end of tobacco use.
