Sign Inventory

Mohit Sirole

Eagle Scout projectSlide2

Project overview

My project involves GeoTagging of all Signs/Signboards in

nine

parks in Fox Valley Park District (FVPD) of Aurora and create Signs/Signboard Inventory.

This

inventory will consist of the pictures of the various Sign/Signboard/Sign, their GPS Coordinates, short description about material and its condition.

Captured information will be stored in online file storage and also documented in MS Excel/Spreadsheet.

The

inventory signs would include all sign board in the park such as information, direction, rules, Soccer Goal sign, Parking Signs, Handicap Signs, restroom sign, etc.

Provided Signs/Signboard Inventory will be uploaded by FVPD Geographic Information System (GIS) Team into their Park asset layers in their GIS application from ESRI Software.

This data will

be used in FVPD work orders, asset management system, in online resource website for public access and various other ways. Slide3

Project benefits

Sign Inventory is part of FVPD asset management initiative.

This

project would be beneficial for the Fox Valley Park District in many ways, it will help with the management and maintenance of park signs and keep them up-to-date.

Park

rangers or maintenance workers wouldn’t have to look for the signs when they go to check on them; instead they can use ESRI Software integrated handheld device go to the exact GPS location and see the sign.

Another

benefit of inventory of signs is, it helps in marketing and advertisement.

Typically

FPVD personnel does this task using $2000 ESRI Software enabled handheld device which cost FVPD lot of money and time, with Scouts and I doing this project will save money as well tax dollars.Slide5

Guidelines

Make sure you take picture of ever sign in the park including the soccer goal signs, parking signs and park ID signs

Make sure you take a picture of the whole sign

Make sure you take a picture of the sign post or the surrounding area

Make sure the sign in the picture is readable

Make sure you take a focused picture

Make sure there isn’t any person in the picture

It is okay to take extra pictures and we will use the best ones. Having extra pictures will prevent us from going back and retaking pictures.

Make sure you park in the designated area when you arrive

Make sure to enter picture title or file name

in

“FVPD

Sign Inventory

Form” for each sign

Fill Sign Inventory form as you take pictures and make sure information is captured accurately.

Picture and Data Capture accuracy is very important for success of this project.
