2019 App WinnerKitchener Speed Zone AnalysisAuthor: David van Riel - City of Kitchener Software Used: FME, ArcMap, Excel Abstract: The City of Kitchener’s Transportation Services Division was asked to analyze the implementation of 40 km/h speed zones throughout the city which would place speed signs only at zone entrances and exits. These gateway signs would be designed to slow vehicles down to 40km/h. Different options were explored: from not implementing, multi-phase starting with higher pedestrian and cyclist activity zones, to city wide. The GIS section was tasked with providing the information and maps to assist in exploring the different options. An FME script was created to perform the geoanalysis and export the data for mapping and information purposes. 2019 Map WinnerCentral York Fire Services - 2018 In Review Author: Tammy Chung - Town of Newmarket Software Used: ArcGIS Pro Abstract: Central York Fire Services is a full time Fire Department that provides protection to the Town of Aurora and the Town of Newmarket, in York Region, Ontario.
