History:
Based on the 1997 Ortho Imagery a Co-op student was hired in January of 1998 to redraw the SLSN which was originally supplied from the Region of Waterloo. Each roadsegment was digitized in the direction of increasing addresses and when possible followed the centre line of the road. When completed the attribute information was transferred from the old SLSN to the new Street Network. The original geo-ids created by the region were maintained but the attribute field name was changed to roadsegmentid. In early 1999, Kitchener GIS began to maintain the kitchener portion of the SLSN and provide updates to the Region to keep them up-to-date. Many additional attributes have been added over the years but the process with the Region continues. This was the first layer to be fully maintained by the GIS section.
2020 - move traffic and operations fields on to the roadsegment layer to simplify editing of the data.
