Smile, Spallumcheen.
Your pictures are about to be taken.
An upcoming project to collect 360-degree imagery across the township will take place June 23 and June 25, conducted by authorized contractors Urban Systems Ltd.
The company will capture 360-degree photos of public roads and spaces.
"The photos will be collected using specialized camera equipment mounted on top of a vehicle that will travel along public roads within Spallumcheen," said the township in a release Wednesday, June 18.
This project is a part of the township’s efforts to improve digital mapping and infrastructure management.
The imagery collected will be used to:
• Provide up-to-date, accurate visuals for Google Maps Street View;
• Support better navigation and geographic services, and;
• Update the township’s road signage inventory.
What to Expect
Between June 23 and 25, you may notice a vehicle with mounted camera equipment driving around the community at about 30 km/h. This may cause very short delays. Only public roads and spaces will be recorded. The vehicle will only collect images from public roads and spaces – it will not enter private property.
Privacy
The township is committed to the privacy of residents. All faces, license plates and other identifying information will be blurred before any images are published to Google Maps. Spallumcheen appreciates your understanding and cooperation while this work is being completed.
