Native Data Set Environment: This coverage was digitized using Intergraph's GeoMedia Professional 5.1 GIS software.

Logical Consistency Report:
The Streetlines are ascertained to be about 95% accurate after repeated field inspections and repeated usage. Some streets such as private servitudes and ramps may not have any assigned names and there may be no address range.
Completeness Report:
The Streetlines are updated monthly as a new subdivision is added. Also with the purchase of next set of aerial photos in July 2004 a quality check would be performed to digitize missing streets and correct street orientation.

Entity Type Label: Centerlines
Entity Type Definition:
The centerlines contain street segments, containing address ranges and street name, street type, street direction etc. The Department of Public Works (DPW) adopted "The Unified Grid system" to provide address ranges to streets. North Boulevard was set as the reference for streets running east-west and River Road as a reference for streets running North-South. All the streets running North-South (Parallel to Front Street) on the south side of North Boulevard have Even numbers on the west and Odd numbers on the east. All the streets running North-South (Parallel to Front Street) on the north side of North Boulevard have Odd numbers on the west and Even numbers on the east.
