This phase kicks off with foundational research:
Task 1.1 focuses on reviewing existing resources to establish baseline data.
Task 1.2, a one-day training on the Pavement Data Viewer, occurs mid-June.
Task 1.3 identifies upcoming projects to inform future street maintenance priorities.
Duration: July 14 – August 28, 2025
Engagement efforts begin mid-July to ensure community and agency input:

Concurrently, a GIS survey and questionnaire (Task 2.3.4) is conducted from June to mid-August to gather broad feedback and geographic insights.
