@al-tabb If you provide the list of common destinations, I will ensure it gets added to the list of geocoder reference addresses. Here's an example list:
Westshore Terminals,Roberts Bank Rd,Delta,BC,49.017,-123.64 Delta Port Terminal, Roberts Bank Rd,Delta,BC,49.022,-123.157
@gk-tl Can you provide a list of 'common' origin destinations with an approximate location (cross streets, description, screenshot). I can then provide the lat long for these.
@gk-tl If needed, the geocoder can support separate, named entrance and exit points as in:
CenTerm Terminal Entrance,Centennial Rd,Vancouver, BC,lat,lon CenTerm Terminal Exit,Centennial Rd,Vancouver,BC,lat,lon
Good start would be port access - see attached document 2020-01-21 TRP Port Access Routes.docx

@gk-tl Thanks Greg.
@al-tabb When you do the lat/lon, try to locate the point on the correct side of the road just before the entrance or exit, not just the rooftop of the correct building. Also, please name the point appropriately (e.g., Centerm entrance)
@mraross I just had a chat with Greg and we decided that some of the locations in Greg's list are out of scope as we could not accurately determine the appropriate truck entrance/exit. I will add a select list with lat/longs shortly.
@al-tabb @mraross
Site specific traffic circulation (i.e., permitted truck entry/exit points, routes, and restrictions on a given property) is not something TL can readily identify. We would need input from the property owner. Exception to this is Port access and select sites such as CN/CP inter-modal facilities, where it is relatively easy to pin-point truck access gates.
that's fine with us. Just wanted you to know that level of precision is available if you need it.

@mraross Let me know if there are any issues with the formatting. @gk-tl Let me know if there are any important locations missing from this list.
@al-tabb Thanks for the nca list. Are the last three entries supposed to have the exact same coordinates?
@mraross The last two have the same entrance. I've just edited Richardson International as I discovered it does have a different entrance
Great, thanks for checking and the quick turnaround.
Verified in production
Delta Port Terminal is on Roberts Bank Rd, not Roberts Bank Way.
According gmaps, it's Roberts Bank Way: https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.029408,-123.149756,15.96z?hl=en
From online searches, it looks like Roberts Bank Centre is at 1 Roberts Bank Way and GCT Deltaport is at 2 Roberts Bank Way. I have submitted a JIRA ticket for GeoBC to research and update ITN since that street name is currently not in the road data. They have it as Roberts Bank Rd with addressing covering 0-4.
Add common truck destinations such as Westshore Terminals and Delta Port to Geocoder data exception file for inclusion in February address data integration. This will allow users of the TL CVRP application to enter destination names and have them autocompleted by the geocoder.
Destinations should be in one of the following forms:
name,locality,provinceCode,lat,lon
name,street,locality,provinceCode,lat,lon
where name is destination name (e.g., Delta Port)
street includes street name, street type, street direction but does not include civic number or unit number (e.g., Roberts Bank Rd)
locality is the municipality or town name that contains the destination point (e.g., Delta)
provinceCode is the two-letter province code (e.g., BC)
