Blueberry River 205 in BCGNIS is a DRA locality called Blueberry River IR

[mraross]

Blueberry River 205 is in BCGNIS but DRA calls it Blueberry River IR. When data prep processes Blueberry River 205, it turns it into Blueberry River 205 in Buick, BC. DRA should change their name if possible; otherwise, we will need special logic to keep Blueberry River 205 out of the Geocoder list of localities..

In terms of IR location, DRA has the correct location and BCGNIS is off the mark by about four km.

In general BCGNIS models an individual reserve, which is a different concept from what ITN represents (a greater more general area sometimes encompassing multiple large IR(s)). For example, the Anahims Meadow IR locality contains both Anahim's Meadow 2 and Anahim's Meadow 2A BCGNIS points which get suffixed with "near Anahims Meadow IR" in the geocoder. This kind of many-to-one interaction probably exists in several of the other (26) ITN IR localities across the province.

So I'm not sure that what you are requesting of DRA is feasible but you could certainly see what GeoBC thinks for this particular case. It could simply be a historic way DRA was set up to have consistent naming. However it could also be that is the convention GeoBC is required to maintain to make emergency dispatch systems compatible with feeds from E-911 / Telus.

Further research has revealed several more cases to be reviewed and discussed by the team.
