Introducing Civic Pulse

CPTED & Infrastructure Equity Portal

Empowering residents and neighborhood organizations to bridge the gap between emotional frustration and data-driven civic advocacy — built for Capital Improvement Program budget cycles.

Data Over Emotion. Advocacy That Wins.

Civic Pulse transforms how communities engage with city government. Instead of showing up to budget hearings with frustration, residents arrive with professional-grade CPTED audit data, GIS-mapped infrastructure deficits, and auto-generated CIP Request Packets — the same language city commissioners and CRA boards speak.

Interactive CPTED Audit Tool

Four CPTED Audit Categories

Every infrastructure deficit is logged against a standardized framework used by urban planners and public safety professionals.

01

Lighting & Visibility

Log estimated lumen gaps, dark corridors, burned-out fixtures, and inadequate pole spacing with measurable lux-level data.

02

Natural Surveillance & Sightlines

Document unmaintained right-of-ways, overgrown foliage blocking sightlines, abandoned structures, and obstructed views.

03

Territorial Reinforcement & Pedestrian Safety

Record damaged or missing sidewalks, unsafe crosswalks, broken curbs, and the absence of traffic calming infrastructure.

04

Maintenance & Physical Incivilities

Capture litter accumulation, illegal dumping sites, damaged public furniture, and unmaintained city property.

Automated CPTED Risk Scoring

Civic Pulse auto-calculates a CPTED Risk Score (1–5) based on combined inputs. Low lighting combined with high foot traffic automatically flags a location as High Priority — giving city staff an objective, defensible metric to act on.

Low Risk
Score 1–2
Moderate Risk
Score 3

Score 4–5
