A recent development in the Riverside, IL Geographic Information System (GIS) has been the creation of a street inventory. Information captured includes the type of surface material, road base material, cross section type, curb and gutter information, last improved dates, planned improvement dates, and other statistics that can be derived from the GIS such as the length of roadway and even surface area could be calculated quickly.

The street inventory is available to all staff at any time through the Server technology that the village has invested in as well as through the GIS. This data will provide an excellent resource for obtaining improvement estimates and to plan resurface programs in the long term.
