GIS Database V0.9

We have been hard at work updating our GIS database. The goal is to have a single map location to view everything from where crosswalks are located, how affordable different neighbourhoods are for rent, what’s the median income of different locations, how much tax revenue per meter of road different streets are, and so much more.

We launched version 0.8 last November. It only contained 5 fields. We now have over 20 fields, though some are related to each other for viewing simplicity.

We will be working with organizations such as the Happy City St. John’s, Accessibility NL, Bicycle NL and more to help generate the data they need to tell the stories we all need to hear. We will also be helping municipalities see data that is critical in understanding where their taxpayers money is ineffective, and where it could be better directed.

See below. V0.9 is now live!

We are proud to present Version 0.9 of our St. John’s Metro Mobility Infrastructure ( still a boring name I know).

This is Version 0.9 which contains several fields.

Future database mapping projects

We invite you to come along as we explore municipal data, and really dig into how our municipalities function. We have several other database projects in the pipeline in some various form of completion. You can look forward to more maps, articles, posts, and more. You can see the concepts page for a better description but here are some snapshots of project actively in the teams pipeline below.

Volunteers

This is Version 0.9 of the surface mobility infrastructure database. The team of volunteers have spent well over 900 hours curating this data for the public to peruse. This data is not perfect, but it helps paint the broad picture and gets the conversation started when it comes to the data included. We know there are some small errors you will find, but please be patient as future version will correct errors, add more features, and include more data in the coming months and year. Feel free to contact us if you see a glaring issue. For example, Team Gushue Highway phase 3 showing up as complete is an example of an error that will be corrected.

We completed version 0.8 in November of 2023, which was our first public version. We are now launching version 0.9 which is vastly expanded. Version 1.0, which will be a robust complete mobility infrastructure map of the entire St. John’s CMA, should be out in Q1-2 of 2024. Other projects will come out in the interim, so stay tuned.

Not all the municipalities have in depth data available with common fields. We will show what we know. This will evolve over time, so again, please feel free to contact us if you have information we may be able to add to the database.

Primary sources

This is not a complete list of all sources. However this is a comprehensive list of the many sources of data we use to provide insight into our built environments.
