StreetScan to Assess Road and Sidewalk Conditions around Alliance
To help improve the conditions of our streets and sidewalks, the City of Alliance has partnered with StreetScan. StreetScan is a Massachusetts-based company that has assessed streets in over 400 communities in North America.
For the sidewalks, StreetScan employs scooter-mounted sensing technologies to assess the sidewalk conditions. The systems determine the health of each sidewalk and identify defects, including surface distortions and cracking. Sidewalk scanning began on Tuesday, June 17th, 2025.
For the streets, StreetScan employs vehicle-mounted sensing technology to assess road conditions in normal traffic flow. StreetScan collects LiDAR/imagery data and utilizes 360° imaging technology to measure road defects, such as cracking, bumps, and potholes. Street scanning began on Thursday, June 19th, 2025.
With the help of StreetScan, collecting this data helps the municipality to identify and prioritize repair needs.
