Metadata Summary

Originator Metropolitan Council
Abstract Regional Solicitation Functional Class:

The regional solicitation functional class roads are a specific version of the functional class roads to be used in the 2011 solicitation process.

This file will not undergo the quarterly TLG update process standard to the functional class roads. It will remain as is for the entire solicitation process.

Meeting minutes for the TAC Planning Committee are the official record of change requests. If errors are found in this data, they will be corrected against the minutes.

The planned functional class roads layer contains approximate locations of planned major roads and highways in the Twin Cities seven county metropolitan area.

The specific classifications assigned to the roadways resulted from efforts of the Technical Advisory Committee Planning Committee and the Transportation Advisory Board as specified in the transportation planning process, using federal rules and guidelines.

The 'A' minor arterial network was adopted by the Transportation Advisory Board in 1993.

Attributes include functional classification code and name.

The alignments for these roads are approximate only. They are not intended to show the actual alignment.

Section 2 Data Quality Information Top of full metadata Top of page
Attribute Accuracy Functional classification values were entered and checked by Metropolitan Council GIS staff and double checked by Metropolitan Council transportation planning staff.
Logical Consistency The dataset is topologically 'clean'.
Completeness Entire seven county geographic area is covered.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy The linework in this layer is intended to show a very general location for planned roads on small scale maps. No assessment of the actual positional accuracy of these road alignments has been made. Lines should not be expected to fall within the future road rights-of-way.
Lineage The planned roads were created via heads-up digitizing in ArcView. The source of the lines were approximately 1:50,000 scale markup maps of the existing functional class roads with planned roads drawn in by hand. Where roads were under development in spring 2000, orthophotos may have been used to help align the roads. The resulting features are only approximations of where the future/planned roads would be located. This dataset is intended for visual reference only.
