Methodology and findings
Gap
Analysis
An exhaustive cross-document review of recommended improvements proposed for the Orange Blossom Trail Community Redevelopment Area, with each item categorized, located, dated to its earliest mention, and tagged with current status. The first project example is the OBT CRA Assessment and Prioritization engagement.

How it's built
For each project we document four steps. The output is a single deduplicated table that supports prioritization decisions and a strategy-session map.
01
Documents to Knowledge
All relevant CRA plans, annual reports, budgets, and resolutions are placed in a project folder under the Knowledge directory.
03
Cross-document table
Recommendations are deduplicated across the corpus, traced to the earliest document that proposed them, and tagged with current status from the latest annual reports and plan updates.
04
Mapped by status
Items with a specific geographic anchor are plotted on a base map matching the Design Lab Intel layer, classified Planned, Ongoing, or Completed.

OBTNext street typology
Regional Streets are urban thoroughfares with short blocks, local-street access, speed reduction, and mid-block crossings where needed.
Community Streets are complete streets supporting vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian connectivity, streetscape improvements, slow speeds, and on-street parking.
Local Streets prioritize pedestrian and bicycle travel, low vehicle speeds, sidewalks, streetscape, and crosswalk retrofits.
Feature Streets are pedestrian-priority address streets to be built through redevelopment, supporting business, jobs, and housing.
Signalized Intersections are priority crossings for pedestrians and bicycles, with improvements such as lighting, crosswalk markings, banners, signs, and landscape features.
Future Signalized Intersections respond to redevelopment, higher density, and increased pedestrian and bicycle crossing demand.
Map data sources:
Recommendations from the OBT CRA gap-analysis inventory; OBTNext street typology and intersection legend from OBTNext Master and Implementation Plan Figure 11, 2017, with Nashville Avenue and Woods Avenue feature-street segments digitized from the source figure; CRA boundary, parks, schools, supermarkets, community centers, city-owned parcels, church parcels, and vacant parcels from Orange County GIS / Orange County Property Appraiser open GIS services; bike lanes from City of Orlando / Orange County open GIS services (last edited 2021-11-29); aerial basemap from Esri World Imagery; street basemap from OpenStreetMap and CARTO.
Recommendations
Sortable, filterable inventory of every improvement proposed across the corpus. Click a row to highlight its pin on the map.
Missed: a recommendation that should have been extracted from an existing source document but was overlooked. New: a recommendation your team is proposing that isn't in any source document; draw it on the map.
