WLIA 2025 Annual Conference Appleton

Learn about the statewide database of outdoor recreation sites created by the Wisconsin Office of Outdoor Recreation and multiple stakeholders, with the goal of enabling residents and professionals to visualize outdoor recreation opportunities and download data to support their projects. Learn how the GIS-based solutions were configured, how data was analyzed, compiled and standardized, and hear an update on the status of the inventory amongst participants.

Daniel will be covering new applications that WisDOT has rolled out in the past year that have led to increased collaboration between WisDOT, consultants, counties, tribal entities, etc. I'll be showcasing use of Instant & Experience Builder Apps and how easy it is to rollout maps that allow external customers the ability to get to data quicker. Some collaboration applications that will be discussed are: As-built & Right-of-way plats, Structures High-Flow Event Monitoring, Commemorative Highways/Bridges and Michigan Border Timber Routes, Weight Restricted Bridges, and Roadside Facilities. Steven will be showcasing how the Bureau of Structures is using tools like SiteScan and other processing tools to model our structures. This allows us to utilize the data for inspections, quantity calculations and most recently developing 3D digital twins to train and calibrate structure inspectors across the state.
