MADRAS, OR — The city’s Lysa Vattimo says “DAX” is mapping all of the sidewalks, and ranking them from one to five, ” One would be the sidewalk needs repaired or needs an ADA ramp; five meaning it’s perfect. Then that data will be dropped into a software that lays over a map for the city. The city can use that information, then, to make improvements or apply for grant funding to receive funding to make improvements on sidewalks.” She says DAX can complete the evaluation of miles of sidewalks much more quickly than a human, “He’ll have every sidewalk within city limits mapped within about a week.
