This dataset is the base geometry used by The City of Winnipeg's Linear Reference System (LRS). It is to be used in conjunction with LRS events also published on the Open Data portal.

Currently published LRS events are:
Block Segments: https://data.winnipeg.ca/d/sr8r-ehr3
Speed Limits: https://data.winnipeg.ca/d/j5wn-5wz7

Things to be aware of when using the Winnipeg LRS:
- Although attempts have been made to ensure the geometry and attribute data is correct, errors still exist in the network. Please use at your own risk.
- The LRS segments have been digitized in the direction of the municipal addressing

All pothole repairs performed by the City of Winnipeg's Public Works Department. One pothole is classified as 25 kg of fill material. Material amounts are pro-rated by length of geometry capture per entry record.

For example: If a day's record of pothole patching is attributed to Main St (1 km) and Portage Ave (0.5 km), and 375 kg of patching material was used, then Main St would be calculated as having 10 potholes filled and Portage Ave would be calculated as having 5 potholes filled.
