Year: 2015

Hennepin County GIS Road Centerline Data Collaboration Hennepin County GIS Office spearheaded the GIS Road Centerline Data Collaboration project to create a standardized metro-wide road centerline data model that would be the foundation to build, support and sustain an accurate, centralized road centerline data set that could be used on a metro-wide and state-wide basis. The future regional road centerline data set would be invaluable to counties and other agencies for use in various ways: for vehicle routing, address geocoding, Next Generation 9- 1-1 routing and location validation, emergency services dispatching, linear referencing and cartography. The data set would be shared freely and openly without licensure to the general public.
