Updated Inventory and Assessment of Curb and Gutters in Denver, Colorado

The curb and gutters inventory of the City and County of Denver was established in 2004. The current round of data collection was initiated in summer 2011. The equipment used in previous data collection was good, but some significant problems were uncovered during the collection process. An updated more economical unit including a Panasonic toughbook tablet computer and ArcGIS program is being utilized in current inspection. By the end of 2012, 1645 miles (2,647 km) out of 3300 miles (5,311 km) of curb and gutters had been inspected. Previously developed simplified condition index (SCI) was employed and calculated for the completed inventory to examine the overall condition of curb and gutters. By comparing the data in 2004 and 2012 for 8,000 common streets, the overall SCI dropped approximately 3.8 over about a period of 8 years. It indicates a deteriorating rate of approximately 0.5 SCI per year.
