Meeting NG9-1-1 GIS data requirements relies on ensuring seamless connections between your road data and that of neighbouring providers. However, determining the exact connection points can be challenging—especially when disagreements arise over shared boundaries or the placement of road features. These challenges can complicate the creation of a cohesive NG9-1-1 road dataset.

To address this, Esri Canada has developed a national road network tie point layer. This layer identifies optimal locations for connecting roads across jurisdictional boundaries, based on the best available road and boundary data.

Join us to discover how this tie point layer was created, how it can enhance your road data, and how it serves as a foundation for collaboration with neighbouring data providers.
