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."

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."
