Winnipeg Street Network Geometry for Linear Referencing

City of Winnipeg LRS provides the base geometry for the city's Linear Reference System, published by data.winnipeg.ca. It is designed for use with associated LRS event datasets like block segments and speed limits. The data was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Calculate distances along a street segment using the Begin Measure and End Measure columns for asset location.
• Join event data like speed limits to the correct street segment using the Street Name and Street Qualifier fields.
• Analyze street network topology and directionality, as segments are digitized in the direction of municipal addressing.
• Create a linear referencing system for mapping point events (e.g., incidents, signs) to specific street locations.

Strengths

• Base geometry is explicitly published for integration with multiple LRS event datasets (e.g., Block Segments, Speed Limits).
• Data is actively maintained, with a last update timestamp in 2026.

Limitations

• The publisher notes errors exist in the network geometry and attribute data, requiring validation for critical applications.
• Sample data, total row count, and specific spatial coverage details are unavailable for assessment.
