Hello,
 
Does anyone know if there’s a list of all street names in Montreal? I have a huge database of addresses and I want to make sure all street names are correctly spelled.
 
Thanks.
 
Roberto

The AQ Reseau product of AdressesQuebec contains the data, but it's not very easy to extract...

Hi,

You can use the Patrimoine official website of the city - Ville de Montreal

http://patrimoine.ville.montreal.qc.ca/inventaire/index.php

You can easily extract it and build your own database

note that this website covers only the Montreal island.

Need help I can build it for you :)

There's also the GeoBase National Road Network dataset, which has street information in both GML and KML:

Re: the Patrimoine website: is there a place to get the raw data of that? I only see a web interface.

Hi Roberto,

From the AdressesQuebec download, you can look at the shape file folder (ESRISHP) and open the AQ_ROUTES.DBF. You used to be able to open dbf files with excel but you can't anymore. However, you can use OpenOffice Calc. One of the columns is the road names but you will need to filter for unique values because the same road name is repeated many times.

Hope that helps,

Guillaume

These are all great suggestions. I'll try each one and report back. 

Guillaume, I can also open a .dbf in QGIS and export it as CSV. Easy. 

Thanks everyone.
