USER NOTES:

ESRI feature type: Simple, Geometry: Polyline, Topology

Data set has been visually inspected. All data produced strives to meet National Mapping Accuracy Standards (NMAS).

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

To provide members of the Tallahassee/Leon County GIS Interlocal group with base data to use in their maps, projects and business processes.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS. 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.

REFERENCES: DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Existing public right of way sidewalks, curb ramps, and impediments and obstructions in Leon County were inventoried by Planning Department staff. Sidewalk centerlines from street segment curb to curb, curb ramps, and impediments and obstructions were then recorded by Planning Department staff with a Trimble ProXR GPS and a Trimble TDC1 datalogger. Sidewalks widths were measured with a handheld tape measure, and any necessary offsets were recorded utilizing a handheld compass and a Leica Disto Classic laser range finder. Various attribute data were collected. All feature data were uploaded to GPS Pathfinder Office, differentially corrected, converted to GIS shape files, and corrected using 2001 digital orthographic aerial photos. Supplemental_Information: 1. This is not an engineering-grade survey of sidewalks and/or related sidewalk facilities. Slopes, cross slopes, landings, and other engineering and construction variables consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines were not measured or recorded. However, sidewalk widths and other condition attributes were. Impediments are considered to be any section of the sidewalk, based on the judgment of trained field personnel, that is in a comparably worse condition than surrounding sidewalk sections, which may cause difficulty for wheelchair or pedestrian passage. Impediments include light, moderate, or severe cracking, faulting, and/or surface wear. Obstructions are features which reduce the minimum clear width for single wheelchair passage of 32 inches (815 mm) at a point and 36 inches (915 mm) continuously, or they prevent wheelchair access to a sidewalk segment. 2. Sidewalk segments and other features on private roads were not mapped. 3. Since sidewalk construction and repairs, including upgrades and additions to address ADAAG, are ongoing activities of local government and the development of property, these layers cannot be considered absolutely comprehensive or complete. Please contact the appropriate local government public works department for the latest activities. Process Date: Geoplan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.) Projected data to FGDL Albers HPGN 2.) DESCRIPT item added based on STREET_NAM and STREET_SUF 3.) FGDLAQDATE item added to attribute table 4.) Upcased all records in attribute table Process Date: 20070130
