2. Part One
Add water streets to the streets layer of Lake Norman.
Give calls for service a street to code to.
Include as many branches as possible in order to be
exact.
Do not let any of the new streets touch land.
Were given ideas but left the street system open to our
own creativity.
3. How to draw the streets
Points for the buoy system.
Draw lines from one buoy to the next.
Attempted to link map to hazard system.
4. Issues
Could not save the lines that we drew.
Were not able to add data to the lines we created.
Getting the data to transfer from one computer to
another.
Did not understand hazards in the water to create safe
GPS roads.
Needed to make sure that the shapefile could be
appended to any later Cornelius Street revision.
5. End Result
We decided on coil pattern to optimize area that a
particular road would cover.
We used a double line system on the inlets to create
greater precision.
Each separate coil covered a specific land area. Each
coil was then broken up into 17 “block ranges”.
6. End Result
Using a blueprint from the Cornelius Street layer, we
decided on which information to include into an excel
document.
We then joined the excel document to the shape layer,
based on the block ID’s.
Finally, we exported this layer into a new shapefile, so
that it is separate from the street layer. It can now be
joined with any future Cornelius Street file revisions.

11. Part Two
Grid System
Created shapefile titled “grid” over city and lake
Created a quarter mile square and half mile square
grid system.
Half mile grid system includes coordinate labels
Will provide the department another method to track
trends and possibly dispatch officers
12. Grid System
Grid shapefile would not save properly
Getting accurate mile measurements
At times data would not correctly export
