Interactive mapping
Explore Kitchener from the comfort of your own home or office using our interactive mapping tool.
This application (app) lets you view data about Kitchener in map form, generated by our geographical information system (GIS). The app uses information from various sources and creates map layers for you to view and print out.
By using our app, you can find:
- active building permits
- zoning
- traffic closures
- aerial imagery
- engineering drawing
- city-owned infrastructure (water, sanitary and storm)
- trails and bikeways
- parks
- planning information
- and more!
Open the map content on the left side of the application and explore further by turning the layers on or off. The 'i' tool will open windows with more information about a layer, based on where you clicked the mouse.
