New Look! by Susan Moore Recently, we redesigned our WebGIS.net to include some new features, and to meet current World Wide Web Consortium (also known as W3C) Standards. Meeting these standards ensures greater accessibility for visually impaired users and allows for increased portability across web-enabled devices. The site utilizes a browser-based content management system developed by A&A, which allows our GIS staff to update content without special desktop software.
For those of you who would like to find out more information about GIS and the
terminology used, there is an introduction
to the concept, a glossary, and
links to even more resources.
Most importantly, don’t forget to check out some of the actual GIS sites – you can

On September 30, 2003, the culmination of many factors brought about the beginning of a journey for the citizens of Radford, Va. On that day, the new Bikeway/Walkway trail system, known as the Riverway, celebrated its groundbreaking. With Anderson & Associates there every step of the way, the Riverway was the vision of the City and a group of citizens who later formed the organization  Pathways for Radford. A&A assisted with
the writing and submittal of the Transportation Equity Act
for the 21st Century (TEA-21) grants and
worked on designing and implementing the Riverway in a way complementary to the existing
landscape. We are also administering the construction contract.
Riverway trail will parallel the New River, beginning at Radford University’s Dedmon Center, traveling up to Bisset Park, and then continuing through the new tunnel under East Main Street to Wildwood Park. It will then travel through the park to Sundell Drive for a total length of approximately 2.5 miles. The tunnel under East Main Street, also designed by A&A, is currently being constructed by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) as part of the current Memorial Bridge project. Construction of the Riverway is scheduled to be completed by Spring 2004. For further information about the Riverway, or for assistance in planning and funding your own trail system, please contact Jay McGuire at A&A, 800-763-5596 or by e-mail at mcguire@andassoc.com. &
