  • 00:36:16 Andrew Glass Hastings (OMF): One note about the Curb Collaborative - Michael mentioned at the top of the call that many of these CDS changes came directly from the real-world experience of the Curb Collab cities’ implementation of CDS. This is an incredibly valuable feedback loop to make the spec better!

  • We want to build on this momentum and convene the next Curb Collaborative cohort of cities - this time international - from US, Canada and Europe. The Collab will be a forum for cities to share and learn with each other in virtual and in-person meetings as they digitize their curbs using CDS.

  • If you or your city/agency/MPO are interested in learning more about the next Curb Collaborative please send me a note at [email protected]

  • 00:52:28 Johan Høgåsen-Hallesby (Beta Mobility): Re: The question on use-cases. Particularly excited about the addition of ‘Curb Objects’.

  • Context: We’re currently running an AI-model on time series of aerial photos identifying stranded assets in public space (i.e. parked boat trailer on a public road). Mapping the known and expected objects next to the “unwanted” ones will make for an interesting analysis.

  • 00:53:26 Brian Hamlin (Seattle DOT): Going beyond CDS 1.1 - a lot of the cities now have momentum of using the spec and testing it out. I imagine we 'll have lots of solid updates in the future!
