• Three Things: Describing Philomath, Dax's new jobs and a late Halloween night (philomathnews.com) — Sidewalk-mapping robots are now rolling through South San Francisco, helping the city complete an Americans with Disabilities Act self-evaluation by scanning up to eight miles of sidewalks a day. Developed by Oregon-based Daxbot, the machines collect detailed data on cracks, slopes, and curb ramps far faster than traditional crews. Their work here runs through the end of November, shaping future accessibility and repair priorities.
