Montreal Road Asset Inventory with Sidewalk and Block Details

Roads database from the City of Montreal's geomatics team inventories road assets like sidewalks, curbs, and blocks. It includes polygon representations and attached information such as construction date, survey date, sidewalk type, curb type, materials, and presence of trees or bicycle lanes. Data is provided for informational purposes and may not be fully up-to-date across the territory.

Use Cases

• Analyze sidewalk and curb material composition and construction dates to plan municipal maintenance schedules.
• Map the presence of bicycle lanes and trees associated with sidewalk-type assets for urban green infrastructure analysis.
• Differentiate island-type blocks by their configuration and material data for public space design studies.
• Assess the distribution of sidewalk types and projections for pedestrian accessibility audits.

Strengths

• Includes polygon spatial representations for geographic analysis.
• Captures multiple asset attributes like construction date, survey date, material type, and presence of features.
• Covers both sidewalk/curb and island/block asset types within the local or arterial road network.

Limitations

• Data is explicitly noted as not necessarily up-to-date throughout the entire territory.
• Intended for informational use only, not for engineering design or asset location purposes.
• Specific scale metrics like row count, column count, and temporal coverage are unknown.
