Public Works Condition Reports

The City of Bloomington contracted with a firm to conduct a citywide survey of street pavement conditions. The data and associated infrastructure metrics was collected between January and March 2018 through field inspections utilizing the use of Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology. LIDAR is much more time efficient than visual data collection, allows for real-time data collection and provides more uniform and accurate reporting.

The street pavement data that was collected updated the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings for the City’s entire 234 miles of street network. Street Department staff uses PCI ratings to prepare targeted improvements during the development of the City's annual paving schedule. The City is also required to annually collect and report PCI rating data for its entire street network to the Indiana Department of Transportation.
