Footpath Centerline Network For City Of Canning

2026-03-24 updated geospatial dataset from the City of Canning's GIS Services. It maps footpath centerlines as polylines, including paths owned by the City and other organizations like Main Roads WA. The data includes attributes for street name, suburb location, and path type classification.

Use Cases

• Analyze footpath network connectivity and coverage using the Location and St_Name fields for urban planning.
• Classify and inventory pedestrian infrastructure by Type (FP, SP, SP-NTS) to assess accessibility standards.
• Perform spatial joins with other city datasets using the ObjectID for asset management and maintenance planning.
• Model pedestrian route networks by integrating Type and Location attributes into transportation simulations.

Strengths

• Includes paths from multiple organizations (Main Roads WA, Public Transport Authority, surrounding local governments) for network completeness.
• Data is digitized from footpath polygons and aerial photography, providing a geometric basis.
• Offered in multiple geospatial formats (SHAPEFILE, GEODATABASE, GEOJSON, MAPINFO) for tool flexibility.
• Released under a CC-BY license, permitting reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Unknown total row count and spatial extent limits quantitative assessment of network scale.
• Data is specific to the City of Canning jurisdiction, limiting broader regional analysis.
• Path width detail is only implied by the Type classification (SP-NTS for <2.5m), lacking precise measurements.
