Commission introducing interactive web maps and date resources

The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is introducing additional interactive web maps and data resources to its MVRPC Online Map Gallery. More mapping layers also have been added to its Online Planning Support System (OPSS) mapping application.

MVRPC’s Online Map Gallery, available at http://www.mvrpc.org/mapgallery/, was first launched in October 2012 as part of the agency’s on-going efforts to share data and information using the latest Geographic Information Systems (GIS) web technologies.

New web maps and data added to the Map Gallery are available in two new categories: transportation and environment. Information in the “Transportation” category includes the topics of Functionally Classified Streets, regional Transit Systems and the region’s bikeway network. Maps and data in the “Environment” category include the National Wetlands Inventory, Flood Hazard data, Watershed boundary data and Facility Planning Areas. All of the data is multi-county or regional in scale. JOANNE HUIST SMITH
