Grand Island Public Works Unveils Updates to Cone Zone Online Tool

Grand Island, Neb. — The City of Grand Island Public Works Department has released a refreshed look and new functionality for its Cone Zone service, which is an online map that helps residents track road construction projects throughout the city.

The update has already drawn positive feedback, particularly for its cleaner, more modern design that improves readability and makes the site easier to use on both desktop and mobile devices.

Other key improvements include:

  *   Map adjustments that reduce load times and improve visibility for users
  *   Enhanced color selections designed to be accessible for users with common color vision deficiencies
  *   Added city limit boundaries to help residents better understand the context of projects
  *   New counters showing the total number of active work zones, updates made that day, and newly added projects, providing a quick overview of city activity

The Cone Zone map is optimized for mobile viewing, ensuring residents can access construction information while on the go. The next planned update will include detour routes, offering drivers even more tools to plan their daily commutes around construction activity.
