eGIS Committee Meeting Agenda for May 2012

Please find the agenda for tomorrow’s LA County eGIS Committee Meeting attached here: May – 2012_0515.eGIS meeting notice and Agenda (pdf file)

Important note

The GIS classifications will be in front of the Board of Supervisors tomorrow.  It was held from two weeks ago due to unrelated issues, so let’s hope it passes tomorrow.  Unfortunately that does not give me or the CEO enough time to prepare to discuss the classifications tomorrow, so we will need to postpone until next month’s meeting.

Discussion items for tomorrow

What is your Walk Score?

Walk Score

If you haven’t been to Walkscore.com you should check it out:  They have done a pretty interesting spatial analysis based upon distance from an address to local resources (restaurants, shopping, etc).  Check it out here: http://www.walkscore.com/apartments/search/90071.

What is interesting to me about this is that if you flip the analysis, and add our service locations from our location management system (aka  Points of interest – click to download) – you can do a service GAP analysis – basically the red areas would be places that don’t have enough services.

As a government agency this would be a powerful rendering of where we as a County need to add providers or sign contracts.

I’d be interested in this – when I get the change I’ll start taking a look at this – but if someone does it first I would love to see the results!
