Abstract

Engaging the Public through AGOL Web Mapping
Track: Web Mapping
Authors: Earl Eutsler

Management decisions about street trees can quickly become emotional: you can't put a tree back once it has been removed. To increase the transparency of our operation and inform the public of our services, Washington DC's Urban Forestry Administration has deployed several webmap applications. From dynamic web maps of our tree removals to interactive applications comparing open spaces to scheduled planting, UFA has been on the leading edge of web mapping as a means of gaining the public's trust.
