Sidewalks 2014 - Line
vector digital data
These data were collected from aerial imagery flown spring 2014. Stereo compilation for planinmetric Sidewalk Line data occured between 7/8/2015 through 11/3/2015.
This metadata describes the stereocompiled paved sidewalks and paved trails centerlines feature of DRCOG Denver Region Urbanized Project Area. The feature was compiled from the Denver Regional Aerial Photography Project (DRAPP) 2014 Aerial Imagery Acquisition and Production. This 1"=100' scale imagery is comprised of 4-band RGBIR color orthoimagery with a GSD (Ground Sample Distance) of 0.5'. Imagery was collected with the Leica ADS40 and ADS80 digital sensors and processed with Leica XPro software. Imagery is projected in State Plane Coordinate System, Colorado central zone using the Lambert Conformal Conic map projection parameters. Horizontal and vertical datums are NAD83(11) and NAVD88(GEOID12A) respectively.
Delineate paved sidewalks and paved trails with width > 5ft as centerlines. Sidewalks are paved walks for pedestrians, "Point A to Point B" use. Trails in this layer are public paved walkways intended for recreational purposes.
Capture criteria: If the sidewalk widens and the centerline shifts, create a "jig" to keep the centerline connected. The sidewalk does not stop at intersections or at parking aprons or at driveways, BUT these areas should be separate segments within the line feature and attributed differently (see attribution:Type). The main goal of this feature dataset is connectivity; it will be used for routing and modeling of pedestrian trips. When connecting "sidewalk"segments with an "other crossing" segment (see attribution: Type), only connect with there is visible access between the two sidewalk segments. Access means that a wheelchair can traverse it (so stairs do not constitute a connection). For sidewalk centerlines meeting parking apron, the portion of sidewalk centerline within the apron always breaks into a different line segment, and has a type of "other crossing" unless the sidewalk crossing the parking lot is readily visually apparent, in which case the sidewalk centerline simply continues unbroken. For sidewalk centerlines meeting driveway apron, the sidewalk continues as with the polygon sidewalks. This layer includes all public sidewalks (e.g. adjacent to a public building, schools, or roads, adjacent to commercial buildings, maintained by a public entity) and trails (e.g. in public parks, maintained by a public entity). The sidewalks layers will not include private sidewalks (i.e. serving individual residences, contained within campuses, mails or commercial complexes) EXCEPT where the sidewalk maintains connectivity with the public sidewalk network. In these instances, if the private sidewalk is too complex (i.e. multiple, indirect paths, or with many branches), a best-fit line may be drawn to maintain connectivity with the public sidewalks. Break all sidewalk and trail centerlines at line intersections.

"Sidewalk", Crosswalk", Other crossing", Best fit line".
Type of path. A "sidewalk" is a paved path for pedestrians on the side of the road. A" crosswalk" is a marked part of the paved road where pedestrians have right of way to cross. An "other crossing" is a line segment that maintains connectivity within this layer but is not a sidewalk or crosswalk. The "other crossing" should be used to connect sidewalk and crosswalk features that are separated by an average city block or less (~650ft); this feature does not have to be paved; it will only be collected if there is visible and reasonable access (wheelchair accessible) or connection between the sidewalks/crosswalks to be connected.
