Oak Lawn Geographic Information System
In 2008 Oak Lawn embarked on aggressive GIS program with the goal of digitizing and modernizing the way it manages utility atlases, building permits, police data, and a variety of other information. This continually improving mapping system will be used by staff, residents, and businesses to help gather information and make decisions. The Village now uses the GIS to help track and plan its sewer rehabilitation program, condition of streets, and water main replacements to more efficiently manage Village assets. A number of commonly requested maps are provided below.
