Public Works Receives GIS Award from ESRI

The County of San Bernardino Department of Public Works received a Special Achievement in GIS Award at the ESRI International Users Conference in San Diego, held July 14-18. This award acknowledges vision, leadership, hard work and innovative use of ESRI’s geographic information system technology. In April 2013, public works developed new geographic mapping information on their website to assist the public in viewing county roads, flood control and solid waste facility locations throughout the county. Ninety percent of the work that public works performs is at distinct geographical locations within the county and the department wanted to share that information with the public through a variety of interactive maps. The website address is http://sbcountydpw.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html. The website includes locations of the road yards showing the service boundaries and information on how to contact road yard supervisors. A search by the street address feature is also available of the county maintained road system, allowing users to easily locate which roads are maintained by public works. A temporary road closures map helps users avoid areas where roads are closed for maintenance or problems. Flood control facilities and flood control right-of-ways are easily identifiable on their own unique interactive map. A waste disposal map shows locations and hours and days of operations to assist with accessing the landfills or transfer stations in your area. The capital improvement project map provides a tour of the current projects that are under construction. All of the maps are interactive, allowing users to click on a geographic feature to bring up additional detailed information. “The SAG Awards identify the organizations and people that are using the power of geography to improve our world and drive change,” said ESRI President Jack Dangermond.
