Leveraging the existing online interactive GIS map and map gallery, the City of Bloomington added a local address search application that provides residents additional information 24/7. When an address is entered, the portal shows:

• Google Map of the address
• Community profile including government jurisdiction, city council members, economic development and historic districts, and links to neighborhood associations
• Government services, such as trash pickup, recycling days, and parking permit zones
• Closest parks and Historic Preservation Sites
• Nearby road closings and map links to show the locations.

Both an online and smartphone-friendly versions of the portal have been released, and can be accessed at http://bloomington.in.gov/mybloomington
