Alberta NRN dataset now includes Address Ranges, Street Names and Place Names
June 23, 2008
On behalf of the Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG), Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is pleased to announce the release of the third update of the Alberta portion of National Road Network (NRN).
This new NRN GeoBase dataset was produced by and carried out in the framework of a maintenance agreement between NRCan, Statistics Canada (STC) and Alberta Transportation (AT) with funding support from GeoConnections. The work for this activity is performed by a private firm contracted by AT.
This update includes a first version of addressing information derived from STC data. Information will be reviewed over the coming years. It also includes many attributive and geometric updates. Almost 86 000 km of roads have been geometrically modified resulting from the acquisition of new roads and integration of roads from AT's authoritative source dataset.
Data Change Management (DCM) files between 2008-06 and previous 2007-06 releases are also provided for this dataset.
