Shopping Centres

The Canada Shopping Centres database is made up of two related files - Shopping Centres and Anchor Stores.

The Shopping Centres file contains the location coordinates of individual shopping centres across Canada. Those centres that have a gross leasable area of 30,000 sq. ft or greater are considered “traditional” shopping centres, whereas those having a gross leasable area less than 30,000 sq. ft are considered “non-traditional”. In addition, this file provides information on the number of stores, parking spaces, gross leasable area, type of centre, and proposed renovation plans.

The anchors file contains a list of the major stores within the Shopping Centres, as well as a description of the store and the square footage. This file also provides the location coordinates of each anchor store.

Traffic Counts

Traffic Counts Canada is based on TeleAtlas Canada’s street data and

 traffic volume information collected by TransSearch Group Inc. The traffic count files consist of a point file of from/to intersections and a line file containing a network of arc segments. Each arc segment has a corresponding traffic count for an average 24-hour day as well as a unique ID number to link the network file to the point file.

Methodology
The creation of the traffic count files began with a traffic count database. From/To intersections were then created from this database by geocoding the intersections to the StreetPro street file. StreetPro was then used in conjunction with the From/To intersections to create the line network. Arcs that exceeded 4km in length were identified as potentially ambiguous segments. QC was performed to determine the cause of the long segments, and these were manually adjusted.
