First a network dataset was to be created in order to solve the question: How has the Garfield Avenue construction project affected pedestrian traffic at UWEC? Initially, a map was to be downloaded from the project website. Next the map had to be georefrenced to the World Topographic Map, ESRI, 2018.

The ESRI courses Preparing for Network Analysis and Network Analysis using ArcGIS taught how to set up network datasets using the data provided in the lab folder. The data provided was two possible paths leading from the north end of the student walking bridge, to the front of of Phillips Hall.
