Jonesboro, AR Road Data Added

63 new road features from Jonesboro, AR have been added to the Arkansas Road Centerline File. "These were effectively added to the existing centerline files, and addressed if addresses were available.  Some of the roads exist, but no houses have been built on them, and are not assigned addresses yet.  They were placed by the 2009 NAIP aerial image." stated Rusty McAllister, GIS Coordinator for the City of Jonesboro.


Thanks Rusty

More Eyes Equals Better Data

The Arkansas Road Centerline File effort is unique because it does not seek to just create the data. The effort includes a continued effort to have road centerlines maintained at the local level. There is also great deal of value that comes from having the data used.

User provided feedback is one benefit of having the data readily available for public and private use. AGIO staff met with a major user of the data set last week. The user commended the state on the development of the file and provided feedback on possible errors that they had identified. This feed back has resulted in an updated  ACF file that is available for download. http://www.geostor.arkansas.gov/G6/Home.html?q=ACF+DL

Thank you to all of those that create, maintain, use and offer specific edits. The Arkansas GIS Community has once again proved itself invaluable.
