TITLE: SHARED-USE NONMOTORIZED (SUN) TRAIL NETWORK IN FLORIDA - AUGUST 2019

Geodataset Name:       SUNTRAILNETWORK_AUG19
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    Polyline
Feature Count:         985
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The SUN Trail dataset represents the Shared-Use Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail dataset represents the existing, planned and conceptual paved multiuse trails for bicyclists and pedestrians, physically separated from vehicular traffic, that form a land-based statewide trail network. This map is a synthesis of trail planning efforts of municipalities, counties, transportation planning organizations, other public agencies and non-profits entities throughout Florida. This data does not include all existing, proposed and conceptual trails in Florida, but focuses on high priority linear corridors and connections of statewide and regional significance to form a comprehensive connected system. The SUN Trail data is derived from the Florida Greenways and Trails System (FGTS) Priority Land Trails Network, overseen by the Office of Greenways and Trails, modified by removal of corridors not envisioned as paved trails. FDOT defines a multiuse trail as a paved, shared use path, which is typically 12 feet wide, but may commonly vary from 10 feet to 14 or more feet depending upon physical or environmental constraints or volume of use. In some areas of extreme constraints such as at bridges or in environmentally sensitive lands where conditions require a smaller footprint, a multiuse trail may be as narrow as eight feet.

The Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail Network is authorized under
339.81, F.S. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is directed to
make use of its expertise in efficiently providing transportation projects to
develop a statewide system of paved non-motorized trails as a component of
the Florida Greenways and Trails System (FGTS), which is planned by
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.

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
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
GeoPlan Center Process Steps:
GeoPlan Center acquired the data via shapefile from the FDOT via email on 9/25/19.

The SUNTrailNetwork.shp was originally in the following projection:
NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_17N

The dataset was Reprojected to the FGDL Albers projection:
Albers Conical Equal Area [Florida Geographic Data Library]

Next, two attribute fields were added:
- DESCRIPT based on the existing field SEG_NAME
- FGDLAQDATE based on the date FGDL acquired the data
Two fields removed: 
SHAPE_LENGTH, LENGTH

Finally, the dataset was renamed to suntrailnetwork_aug19.shp from SUN_Trail_Status.shp
Process Date: 20190927
