2000: Data was acquired directly from Coast Mountain Bus company. The routes were provided in shapefile format and uploaded into the District's GIS. The spatial accuracy of these bus stops was generalized and did not align with their true locations.
2004: The GIS department spatially corrected each bus stop so that it aligns with the true location as per latest orthoimagery.
2003: Tram routes were digitized from the 2003 orthoimagery.
2004: Data was acquired directly from Coast Mountain Bus company. The routes were provided in shapefile format and uploaded into the District's GIS.
2008: The GIS department recreated this data set. By using the original Coast Mountain data, the bus routes were redigitized so that there were no overlapping lines. This allowed for the production of better maps.
These routes are coincident with the centerlines of streets. Attributes include relative grade and adjacent road information.
2000: The Sea Bus route was digitized from marked-up maps
2003: The Sea Bus route was augmented and digitized from the 2003 orthoimagery.
1996: The Parks department purchased a backpack GPS unit for the purposes of collecting the locations of many trails in the alpine region of the District of North Vancouver. Various temporary GIS staff collected GPS information on trails over a 3 year period with varying degrees of accuracy and success. By 1999 the majority of known trails were collected in the alpine region and were entered into the GIS. Between 1999 and 2003 additional trails in the developed region were added to the GIS mainly through digitizing marked-up maps which were supplied by Parks department staff.
2000: Additional trail information was supplied by North Shore Search and Rescue in Microstation CAD format. This data was translated into the GIS and added to the trail inventory as required.
2001: Additional trail information was supplied by the North Shore Mountain Biking Association (NSMBA). Detailed sketches of trails with their known names were added to the GIS from marked-up maps.
2003: The accuracy of trails information was improved, wherever possible, based on the latest orthoimagery. Also in 2003, the trails feature class was physically divided into two feature classes: Public Trails and Non-Public Trails. In 2011, difficulty ratings were assigned to most trails in the District of North Vancouver.
2013: As part of the DNV's continuing asset management program, urban trails and pathways were walked with GPS to confirm location and asses condition.
2000: Historically, the District has used neighbourhoods for planning purposes since the 1950's.
2006: However in 2006 there was a need to redefine some neighbourhood boundaries and names to reflect a more contemporary state. In 2006 a newly defined set of neighbourhoods was created with some neighbourhood name changes. Moreover, neighbourhoods aggregated up into larger OCP areas which in turn aggregate up into one of three Service areas.
2007: Additionally, neighbourhoods were redefined to provide Statistics Canada with custom geographic areas for the purposes of providing comparative statistics across all neighbourhoods in the District.
1998: By 1998 the North Shore Search and Rescue (NSSR) unit had recorded the location of various assets in the field, particularly in the alpine region. These assets were mapped and aided workers in the field during rescue missions.
1998: NSSR provided this information to the District's GIS in Microstation (CAD) format. The information was translated and selected data sets were loaded into the GIS to either start a new theme or to augment an existing one.
2003: Pedestrian bridges for the alpine areas were acquired from NSSR whereas bridges in the developed region where acquired through digitizing from 2003 and 2007 orthoimagery.
2007: As part of the District of North Vancouver's asset management program, parts of the Districts asset inventory was refined, augmented and completed. In some cases this involved the collection of more information which was then updated in the GIS.
2013: As part of the DNV's continuing asset management program, parts of the District's asset inventory was reviewed and refined, and the GIS was updated accordingly.
2003: The spatial extents of sporting fields were originally digitized from the 2003 orthoimagery. These fields were then classified by their surface type and their primary use.
2007: Any additional modifications to features were digitized from more recent orthoimagery.
2007: As part of the District of North Vancouver's asset management program, parts of the Districts asset inventory was refined, augmented and completed. In some cases this involved the collection of more information which was then updated in the GIS.
2003: The spatial extents of sporting surfaces were originally digitized from the 2003 orthoimagery. These surfaces were then classified by their surface type and their primary use.
2007: Any additional modifications to features were digitized from the most recent orthoimagery.
