Stride ATL: Infrastructure Intelligence
The Problem: The Failed Floor Plan Current urban maintenance is reactive. Cities rely on citizen-initiated 311 reports, creating a data bias that favors high-income areas while leaving high-traffic student and disinvested corridors in a state of decay.
- Density Friction: In downtown cores (GSU), broken sidewalks force pedestrians into vehicular traffic.
- Material Conflict: Rigid concrete specifications clash with tree canopies, creating absolute ADA barriers and multi-million dollar liabilities.
The Solution: Redrawing the Blueprint Stride ATL transitions the City of Atlanta from a "Complaint-Based" model to an Asset Optimization model:
- The Stride Index: An AI-driven condition-and-risk model that identifies infrastructure failures before they occur.
- The Rolling Lane: Reclaiming underutilized asphalt for micro-mobility to clear primary walking paths for pedestrians.
- Material Retrofitting: Shifting policy toward root-tolerant, flexible paving in historic canopies (CAU/Decatur).
Why it Works: The ROI of Walkability
- Value Extraction: Catching a $200 root-retrofit today prevents a $5,000 emergency rebuild tomorrow.
- Proprietary Data: Built from verbatim "Mom Test" interviews (Keemani, Myles, Sterling, etc.), we surface the "Silent Gaps" 311 ignores.
- Economic Yield: Walkability is the cheapest customer acquisition strategy. Reducing friction increases retail dwell-time and commercial property values.
