A Bird's-Eye View of Woodstock

The City of Woodstock will be investing in new aerial mapping next year. The current maps the city uses for planning are over 30-years-old. And with all the development over the last 5-years, City Engineer Harold DeHaan believes its high time the city invests in some new mapping. "We had council approve half the anticipated funds this year with the intent of getting the other half approved next year so that next year we can have the whole city flown aerially so we can get an aerial photography of the whole city". The total cost will be around $70,000. The Engineering Department uses the aerial maps frequently to study flooding complaints, and for planning reports. DeHaan says new technology in aerial mapping would allow the city to have maps that are accurate within 8cms.
