Special Projects: Innovating for Community Connectivity and Safety • AI-driven Sidewalk inspection pilot: The Roads Department has initiated a pioneering, AI based sidewalk inspection program. This technology is an artificial intelligence tool that provides accurate assessment of the condition of sidewalks and their likely repair needs, to improve efficiency and effectiveness of resources. The program, by actively identifying maintenance needs, improves public safety, reduces claims and, therefore, reflects our commitment to ensuring that all residents have access to safe walkways. • AI-driven winter quality assurance inspections : Pioneering the way in improving winter quality assurance, the City is proud to pilot an AI-based snow and windrow monitoring initiative. This project aims to enhance winter road safety by optimizing resource utilization ultimately reducing winter road hazards. Through consistent monitoring and management of road conditions, we strive to make winter travel safer and more efficient for everyone.
