TITLE: FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION - RCI SIDEWALK BARRIER - OCTOBER 2019

Geodataset Name:       SIDEWALK_BARRIER_OCT19
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    Polyline
Feature Count:         51198
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains Sidewalk Barrier features from the October 2019 version of the Florida Department of Transportation Roads Characteristics inventory (RCI) dataset. The Sidewalk Barrier feature class shows sidewalk barrier locations along a roadway as derived from event mapping Feature 216, characteristic SDWLKBCD from the FDOT Roadway Characteristics Inventory data. Sidewalk barriers separate motorized vehicle lanes from sidewalks or shared paths. The barrier can be of several types, such as areas for vehicular parking, physical traffic barriers, guardrail, trees, etc. This data represents the information collected and reported as of the most recent inventory performed and may not reflect the current conditions.

USER NOTES:
All data for this dataset are logically consistent.
This dataset is complete as of date of production.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

The FDOT Sidewalk Barrier feature class provides spatial information on sidewalk 
barriers. Sidewalk barriers are physical barriers that separate motorized vehicle lanes 
from sidewalks or shared paths. The barrier can be of several types, such as areas 
for vehicular parking, physical traffic barriers, guardrail, trees, etc. This information is 
required for all non-limited access highways, including bridge segments.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
This dataset was created using ESRI event mapping.  The route system is the 
Transportation Data and Analytics' linear referencing system (LRS).  The event source data are from the 
fahwysys table stored in Oracle.  The event data is retrieved using the following 
query:
select * from sdwlkbcd;
Process Date: 20191005

The data set was taken from the Florida Department of Transportation Statistics Office from the following webpage: ftp://ftp.dot.state.fl.us/fdot/co/planning/transtat/gis/shapefiles/ The data set was originally downloaded in OCTOBER 2019 in shapefile format. Specific instructions, created by URS Corporation and the GeoPlan Center, were carried out. The data set is then to be updated on a regular basis. The data was originally in UTM Zone 17, Nad83, units meters. The data was projected to Albers HPGN. -Downloaded the most recent Statewide Personal GeoDataBase -Export from feature class "sidewalk_barrier" to shapefile -Project the shape file to the standard FGDL projection. -Deleted items Shape_Leng, Shape_Length -Add Descript item based on SBCCD Process Date: 20191007
