In January, DRCOG sent an eblast asking for data. It was our largest data request so far because we consolidated requests from across the agency.
1. Municipal Boundaries (31%) 2. County Boundaries (40%) 3. Parcels (50%) 4. Open Space (33%) 5. Trails (33%) Due this 6. Building Points (19%) month! 7. Land Use (21%) 8. Zoning (33%) 9. Bike Facilities (12%) 10. UGB/A (14%) Percentages exclude jurisdictions that do not have GIS.

Duplicate requests to your jurisdiction. Submission is “messy” because the methods are varied. Communication is not well tracked (we do have a spreadsheet)… With 56 jurisdictions and a request for 10 datasets each, we have a lot of room for manual error in collecting and tracking data. The response rate is low.
In January, our team gained Executive approval of the Data Portal idea. The Data Portal is an online application for data exchange between DRCOG and its members that makes data collection and distribution easier for everyone.
One-stop shop for uploading and downloading data from DRCOG Secure section of the Regional Data Catalog that allows transfer of non-public data One profile per member with multiple logins Tracking of all transactions Tracking of all data agreements/ restrictions
We would like a small focus group to meet with us to help us gather requirements and design the site. If you are interested, please let me know! asummers@drcog.org How about next Wed. 2/26 at 11am?

All the 1.0 maps have been recreated in the interactive environment for your convenience! Example: Distribution of Denver Residents who are 55 and older Version 1.0 Version 2.0
DRCOG and Mile High Connects partnered on the development of version 2.0 of the Regional Equity Atlas DRCOG developed the application The Piton Foundation supplied data from its Colorado Data Engine Reconnecting America advised the project team on design, message and continuity with version 1.0
The site was advertised and officially “launched” in early February. In terms of ongoing maintenance, DRCOG will house and maintain the site; Piton will supply the data. Data updates will be annually. It’s available now for all of you to explore!
