Scroll Mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Click a triangle icon to see the Benchmark information.

City of Topeka Engineering Vertical Datum benchmarks are located within the main corporate boundaries of Topeka on a horizontal grid of approximately one-half mile by one-half mile, near corners of the United States Public Land System and at major vehicular traffic intersections. They are also located in much of the three-mile Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) area surrounding Topeka.

Benchmark elevations are established in the NGVD 29 Datum and are determined through adjustment of three-wire differential leveling circuits between NGS Benchmarks. A conversion tool from NGVD 29 to NGVD 88 is available on the United States NGS website at
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/TOOLS.

In 2000, the Planning Department began evaluating the "health" of the city's neighborhoods. This appropriate medical analogy allows you to see if the neighborhood needs "Intensive Care," if it is "At Risk," if it just needs "Out Patient" services, or if it is "Healthy." This overall health rating is based on five indicators of neighborhood health--Poverty, Public Safety, Average Residential Property Value, Homeowner Tenure, and Boarded Houses.

These indicators and the methodology have remained the same so the trends throughout the city can be tracked over time.

The City of Topeka is committed to keeping roadways clear and safe during wintery weather events. Because there are over 1500 lane miles of roadway in Topeka, our response is prioritized.

First, we clear and treat Emergency Routes (orange lines), which are the most traveled streets known as major arterials. Second, we work Primary Plow/Treatment Routes (blue lines), which are well-traveled collector streets which feed into major arterials. Third, we work Secondary Plow/Treatment Routes (yellow lines), which are less traveled collector streets. Lastly we work the remaining local (residential) streets that are not worked in one of the other phases if warranted.

A one-time pass, treating all arterial and collector streets, can take as little as 24 hours or as long as 56 hours if it is a heavy, prolonged snow or ice event.
