Montreal Road Network Street Side Boundaries

Dual geobase data from the City of Montreal projects the filamentary road network to simulate sidewalk and curb boundaries. A static version is used by the Snow Planner API at the start of the winter season. Related datasets for poles, destroyed sections, and section management track changes.

Use Cases

• Analyze street side geometry for urban planning simulations using the filamentary network projection.
• Integrate with Snow Planner API data for winter season operational baseline referencing the static version.
• Cross-reference with Geobase poles dataset for left and right side segmentation of road network sections.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple formats including GEOJSON for geospatial analysis.
• Part of an integrated municipal data system with related datasets for poles, nodes, and section management.
• Maintained by the Government and Municipalities of Québec with a clear open data license (qc-cc-by).

Limitations

• Data is static and may not be updated throughout the country, leading to potential staleness.
• Explicit warnings state the data is for informational purposes only and not for design, work, or asset location.
• No column definitions or sample data are available to assess structure and content prior to use.
