The Village of Oak Park is developing a detailed online search feature that will allow users to access a wide range of information about their properties and the community.
The application is still under development, but currently offers publicly available information about individual properties by address, as well as refuse and recycling pickup dates, zoning information and historic district boundaries. In addition, the application has aerial and terrain views and allows users to measure distance and area as well as draw, create and print maps.
To begin a search on a specific property, go to www.oak-park.us/maps and enter an address in the window on the page. The results will open in a new browser tab or window, displaying the information in MapOffice, a proprietary application developed for the GIS Consortium, a collective of local governments working together to develop and implement new technologies they can share.
The Village’s long-term goal is to add map layers that will display a wide range of Oak Park-specific information that can be tied to a geographic location, such as Village infrastructure, parking resources and construction projects.
The new feature also will have benefits to public service delivery. Analyses of data in a geographic information system can help departments function more efficiently by improving area-based services such as snow plowing to reduce time spent and save money.
Tree inventory online…Among the first Oak Park-specific layers to be added to the Village’s new online property search feature is information on each of the nearly 19,000 trees on parkways and other landscaped public properties. Property owners can visit www.oak-park.us/maps, enter an address and view a map that allows them to read about every parkway tree on any block in the community. The information, which includes species, trunk diameter and height, is under the layers tab of the map. You will have to zoom in to see individual trees. Trees planted since the original inventory last year may not yet be in the system, but will be added.
