TYLER – This week, the city finished collecting data to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities by packing up its DaxBots and conducting a sidewalk survey throughout the city. Officials claim that DaxBots gathered real-time data on 90 miles of pedestrian pathways, including sidewalks and crosswalks at intersections, during the previous four to five weeks. The information will be utilized to evaluate Tyler’s walkways’ present level of accessibility for people with disabilities.
The City of Tyler intends to carry out the required improvements after the data is analyzed, working with the community to determine the top priorities. A human conducting the same assessment would have needed up to six weeks to cover the same areas, according to city officials.
