These photos will be hyperlinked to the GIS data and incorporated in the county parcel geodatabase. It is estimated there will be more than 4,000 structures captured in the county.
Work on this project has already begun and will be completed by the fall of 2017.

Mid-West GIS continues to refine and improve data collection techniques to ensure the most accurate data possible is delivered to our clients. The field collection process for a traffic sign inventory involves the use of highly accurate GPS equipment to collect the coordinates of the traffic sign. The use of aerial photos is used for quality control of the location as well, by viewing the placement of the point in the field as it’s collected. Once the location is stored there are approximately 20 additional attributes that are collected to identify features of both the sign and the support structure. Some of the attributes collected are: Sign Type, MUTCD Code, Size, Sheeting Material Type, Sign Condition, Support Type, Support Condition, Digital Photo, and many others. Mid-West GIS also collects ALL signs in our projects, so that any sign on routes maintained by our clients are collected, giving the a complete and comprehensive traffic sign inventory.
