Who maintains the streets in Danville?This map displays streets within the city corporate limit, and city-owned streets extending past the limit. Most of the streets within the city limit are owned and maintained by the City. But there are a few that are owned by the State of Illinois, or privately owned by various agencies or neighborhoods.The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is responsible for IL Route 1, US Route 136 and 150, and Interstate 74. Along these routes the City provides only pothole filling assistance, and is not responsible for their upkeep or reconstruction.Private streets are maintained by many types of agencies, none of which receive assistance from the City. These agencies acquire their own funding and resources for street repairs.City street repairs and rehabilitation are funded from several sources. One of the primary funding sources is Motor Fuel Tax (MFT). MFT is a tax on the privilege of operating motor vehicles upon public highways and operating recreational watercraft upon the waters of Illinois. The tax is based on the consumption (purchase) of motor fuel. MFT funds can be used to construct and maintain roads, traffic controls, street lighting, storm sewers, sidewalks and other pedestrian paths, off-street parking facilities and much more.These funds ensure that municipalities are able to provide for the public health, safety and welfare of their community through a stable infrastructure.

The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2010 Census blocks nest within every other 2010 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.

Working together to make the city a better place.That's why Report It was created. The citizens of this city deserve to live in a clean and safe community. The Report It Center for Information is here to provide insight into the many aspects of the reporting system. Have a question about Report It? How about the types of issues that can be reported? Perhaps you're curious about the violation abatement process. Answers to these questions and more are available by looking through our frequently asked questions, accessing city ordinances, and reviewing the abatement process.What is Report It's Purpose?Report It is a request for service notification system designed to alert city staff of issues located throughout the city. It is not an issue management or work order system. The requests are delivered to city staff who investigate and take appropriate action if necessary. Actions may involve creating a violation case or adding a work order to an asset management system. Once these actions are performed submitted requests are closed, and the issue continues to be worked on. Staff comments may be entered during request management, and are available in the interactive dashboard located on the Review Updates page.Certain types of issues require more resources to fix. These resources could include time, funding, or additional equipment. Some issues only need a day or two, while others may require many more. But be assured that every request is sent to its respective city staff.

Please see below for common issues and resolutions.Standard household waste, such as kitchen and paper waste that is bagged and contained in an approved toter, will be picked up on your normal weekly service day. Excess bagged household waste that will not allow the toter to close properly must be placed in an additional toter. Additional toters can be purchased by calling 217-431-2288 or 217-431-2200 and will be delivered. A 95 gallon toter is $65 for purchase.

Tax increment financing, or TIF, is an economic development and revitalization tool available to Illinois municipalities through an act of the Illinois State Legislature known as the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4). TIF is designed to remove blight and encourage private investment into areas that would otherwise not see new investment.

New businesses mean more jobs, more customers, and, in turn, more private investment.

TIF designation also helps retain existing businesses that might otherwise find more attractive options elsewhere. The jobs and additional investment — private and public — means more money for the community.

TIF also helps to overcome the extraordinary costs that often prevent development and private investment from occurring on environmentally contaminated properties, and it is also used where infrastructure is inadequate to meet the needs of development.

How does the TIF Work?

Every Private/public investment within a TIF district leads to an increase in property values. The resulting increase in property tax revenue is collected and is reinvested within the district. These funds can help finance private building improvements that otherwise might not receive any attention. The TIF incentive model is designed to work with property owners to create a public/private partnership in these districts. The general idea being that the more the district improves the more property values will increase. This will increase revenue in the TIF fund which, in turn, will be used for further District improvements.

City of Danville currently maintains 5 TIF districts. You can find more information on City of Danville’s TIF district Incentives, application process at the City Website.
