Pedestrian Network Footpaths and Crossings in City of Canning

Footpath Routable provides a polyline network for pedestrian routing within the City of Canning. The dataset includes footpaths, shared paths, and formal and informal crossings, with features categorized by Type and Location. It is maintained by the City of Canning's GIS Services and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze pedestrian network connectivity by modeling paths and crossings based on the Type attribute (e.g., FP, SP, CROSS).
• Identify informal pedestrian access areas (IPA) and unprotected crossings (IPACROSS) for urban safety and planning studies.
• Route pedestrians using the polyline network, incorporating formal crossings protected by refuge islands or signals (CROSS).
• Segment the footpath inventory by suburb using the Location field for localized infrastructure assessment.

Strengths

• Includes a detailed classification of path and crossing types, such as shared paths over 2.5m wide (SP) and informal pedestrian access (IPA).
• Integrates data from multiple organizations, including Main Roads WA and the Public Transport Authority, for network completeness.
• Dataset is actively maintained, with a recorded update in March 2026.

Limitations

• The spatial data is limited to the jurisdiction of the City of Canning, which may not represent broader regional networks.
• Specific quantitative metrics like total row count, length, or temporal coverage are not provided in the input.
