Street Locations Without Sidewalk

This feature class shows a line for each block of the City of Ithaca where no sidewalk is present. It is highly generalized. The layer was drawn from aerial photography and cross checked with a line layer showing which street blocks have sidewalk. It does not include the corners where ramps might be. It was drawn to be used administratively. Emphasis was placed on identifying the blocks which the City's sidewalk program is responsible for maintaining. Less attention was paid in the development of blocks owned privately by Cornell University. Complimentary layers for areas of sidewalks as lines and polygons are also developed. The work was done in 2014 and 2015 with annual updates to include new sidewalk installed by the City and informal additions of sidewalk in the Cornell University Campus. The block as drawn does not distinguish the locations of driveways. The data includes fields for ownership and jurisdiction. See SWPRESP = Yes for City maintenance responsibility. It also includes fields for planned construction or design for construction.
