The ESRI shapefile named "TRAILS_CORRIDORS_LAKE_RIM" is a combination of two ESRI shapefiles provided by Openlands: "existing_trails" and "potential_trails&corridors."
- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This layer includes existing trails and potential trail corridors in Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties in Northwest Indiana. This layer includes data created by the Openlands group for the Northwest Indiana Greenways and Blueways Regional Plan.
- Purpose:
-
This layer was created as part of a larger set of data to provide a regional representation of greenway and blueway planning opportunities in northwest Indiana (Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties).
- Supplemental_Information:
-
This layer was compiled by the Indiana Geological Survey using data provided by the Openlands group.

Personnel of the Openlands group compiled data from various sources to create two shapefiles: "existing_trails," and "potential_trails&corridors."
The following process step descriptions were excerpted from the metadata for those two layers:
"ArcGIS polyline Feature Class created using descriptions and a map (scale unknown) from pages 5-4 through 5-9 of the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission's Regional Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan of 2005."
"Various local planning documents featuring maps of various scales used with 2005 Indiana statewide orthophotography to digitize trails and trail corridors."
"Indiana 2005 Statewide Digital Orthophotography used for tightening existing trails at a scale of 1:5000 or larger. 2006 NAIP imagery used to locate minor trail development occurring after April, 2005."
"Indiana Department of Natural Resources 1:24000 Trails data downloaded from Indiana Geological Survey GIS Atlas for Indiana website (<http://129.79.145.7/arcims/statewide_mxd/dload_page/infrastructure.html>). Used with 2005 Indiana statewide orthophotography to digitize trails."

Personnel of the Indiana Geological Survey obtained ArcView shapefiles named "existing_trails" and "potential_trails&corridors" from the Openlands group in May 2008. IGS personnel standardized the attribute tables for these two layers and added a new field to both tables called "Status." The Status field was populated with values of "existing" or "potential," depending on whether the data were from the existing_trails layer or the potential_trails&corridors layer. ArcToolbox was then used to merge the two shapefiles into a new shapefile called "TRAILS_CORRIDORS_LAKE_RIM.SHP."
