Montreal Pedestrian Basemap with Unique Graphic Charter

A web tiled map service (WTMS) basemap developed for the Montreal by Foot project to promote pedestrian travel. It features a unique graphic charter designed for digital media and urban furniture. The dataset is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec.

Use Cases

• Integrate the WTMS basemap with 'Places of interest' data layers to create pedestrian-focused web mapping applications.
• Use the unique graphic charter to standardize the visual representation of Montreal in pedestrian navigation tools.
• Apply the basemap's cartographic design to support the representation of local travel data on digital platforms.

Strengths

• Basemap is part of a formal city project (Montreal by Foot) aimed at improving pedestrian orientation.
• Designed with a specific graphic charter for promoting pedestrian travel on digital and physical media.
• Intended to interoperate with related open data layers, such as 'Places of interest'.

Limitations

• Data is a visual basemap service (WTMS/HTML), not a tabular dataset, limiting quantitative analysis.
• No sample data or structural metadata (like columns or row counts) is provided for technical assessment.
• The description is an automated translation, which may introduce inaccuracies.
