Re: [Talk-us] More about named driveways in Virginia

[Jonah Adkins]

hi!

i’ve also run into this issue in the more rural parts of the virginia...
not sure if it’s been mentioned in this thread, but the state GIS org (VGIN) 
offers many layers that are collated from all localities. these layers include 
services and downloads for buildings, parcels, and roads.

specifically roads are part of the road centerline (RCL) program, an effort to 
create a statewide 911 centerline layer. the data is requested from localities 
then processed to the state’s data model.

the link for their open data site is 
http://vgin.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html 


i’ve requested a few times to them to include a license with their data and not 
just an ‘as is’ disclaimer (hoping to do some rural building imports), but 
since i’m the only person who’s ever asked i was told the “disclaimer should 
suffice” 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thx,

jonah

[Talk-us] More about named driveways in Virginia

[Charlotte Wolter]

Hello all,

I emailed Paul E. Harvey, director of community development, 
Campbell County, Virginia, about the "named driveways" issue. He gave 
me more information about road conventions in  Virginia.
1. I noticed that the driveway from the highway to Rustberg 
High School had a four-digit number. Harvey replied, "VDOT IVirginia 
Department of Transportation) assigns those four digit numbers to 
roads that serve public facilities like schools."
2. Campbell County requires that any driveway that serves 
three houses or more be named. Residents choose the name, so it can 
be a family name.
3. The named driveways that I am seeing is a different issue 
and may, indeed, be a mistake. He has asked the county's GIS 
technician to look into it.
This kind of information makes all of our mapping better. I 
will add this to the wiki, but it would be great if this information 
were available as a pop-up or some other mechanism while people are mapping.
