Abstract:
This dataset contains designated and candidate Florida Scenic Highways and Byways. The Scenic Highway Program is an initiative of the Florida Department of Transportation's Environmental Management Office. This program is a partnership between Florida Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Florida citizen groups, businesses, and local governments. The Florida Scenic Highways Program is designed to enhance travelers' experience. This, in turn, provides subsequent benefits to the community. The designated scenic highways promote a heightened awareness of the state's exceptional resources and unique history through educational and visual experiences. The program was developed in response to legislation (Section 335.093, Florida Statutes) "to preserve, maintain, protect and enhance Florida's outstanding cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural and scenic resources." This dataset is an update to the FGDL layer SCENIC_BYWAYS_NOV08.shp.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
The Florida Scenic Highways Program will preserve, enhance and maintain the intrinsic resources of scenic corridors through a sustainable balance of conservation and land use. Through community-based consensus and partnerships, the program will promote economic prosperity and broaden the traveler's overall recreational and educational experience.

Florida Scenic Highway Program Program Review
What is the Florida Scenic Highways Program?
It's a grass-roots effort to heighten awareness of our State's historical and intrinsic resources - cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural and scenic - which collectively, enhance the overall traveling experience. Program participation provides subsequent benefits to the community as well, such as resource preservation, enhancement and protection.
Who can participate?
Anyone with an interest in their community can participate in this voluntary program, including citizens, civic groups, businesses and governments. As with any grass-roots effort though, organization is key. Therefore, interested parties must form a Corridor Advocacy Group to help foster community support, form strong partnerships and develop the necessary documentation.
What are the benefits?
There are numerous benefits to program participation:
* Showcases and protects natural resources * Helps establish community vision * Enhances the travel experience (for tourists as well as residents) * Improves quality of life * Increases community pride and recognition * Promotes tourism and economic development * Encourages community partnering * Tells Florida's story, providing education and history appreciation
How does the program work?
The program consists of a step-by-step process divided into three phases:
I. Eligibility - During this first phase, a Corridor Advocacy Group gathers and prepares documentation to show that the Corridor meets program criteria, outlining the Corridor's intrinsic resources, and demonstrating community support.
II. Designation - Once eligibility is determined, the Corridor Advocacy Group prepares a Corridor Management Plan, which represents a comprehensive collection of support data, protection techniques and management strategies for the Corridor.
III. Implementation - During the final phase, the points outlined in the Corridor Management Plan are put into action.
In summary, the Florida Scenic Highways Program offers a unique blend of resource protection and partnering while promoting community pride and recognition of our State's outstanding resources.

GeoPlan Center Process Steps:
GeoPlan received the data from TranSystems on November 14th, 2008 via email. The data received originally consisted of 25 individual Florida Scenic Highway/Byway Designated and Candidate layers.
The original file names are as follows:
Candidate: Heritage_Crossroads_Miles_of_History_Scenic_Highway.shp Martin_Grade_Scenic_Byway.shp Penney_Farms_Scenic_Highway.shp River_of_Lakes_Heritage_Corridor.shp StateRoad_A1A_BrowardCounty_Scenic_Highway.shp
Designated: A1A_Scenic_and_Historic_Coastal_Byway.shp Big_Bend_Scenic_Byway.shp Bradenton_Beach_Scenic_Highway.shp Courtney_Campbell_Scenic_Highway.shp Florida_Black_Bear.shp Florida_Keys_Scenic_Highway.shp Green_Mountain_Scenic_Byway.shp Indian_River_Lagoon_Scenic_Highway.shp Indian_River_Lagoon_Treasure_Coast_Scenic_Highway.shp Lemon_Bay_Myakka_Trail.shp Old_Florida_Heritage_Byway.shp Ormond_Beach_Loop.shp Palma_Sola_Scenic_Highway.shp Pensacola_Scenic_Bluffs_Highway.shp Scenic_30A.shp Suncoast_Scenic_Parkway.shp Tamiami_Trail_Scenic_Highway.shp The_Ridge_Scenic_Highway.shp William_Bartram_Scenic_Historic_Trail.shp Windows_to_the_Gulf_Coast_Waters_Tamaimi_Trail.shp
The original datasets had a scale of 1:24,000 with a projection system of Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) 17 North zone and a horizontal datum of North American 1983 (NAD 1983). The map units were in meters.
The 25 data layers were combined to create one statewide layer. During this process the following fields were added and populated:
SCENIC_HWY STATUS DESIG_DATE ELIG_DATE NATIONAL NAT_DESIG LENGTH_MI DESCRIPT FGDLAQDATE
Next the combine statewide dataset was reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN GRS80 projection.
Next the statewide layer containing 251 features was dissolved based on it's scenic highway/byway name to created 25 unique features.

GeoPlan received the updated data layer via email from TranSystems on June 5th, 2012.
FSHP_All_Scenic_Highways.zip FSHP_Scenic_Highways_all.shp
The dataset was reprojected from GCS_WGS_1984 to FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN. The dataset was renamed from FSHP_Scenic_Highways_all.shp to scenic_byways_jun12.shp
A tabular join was performed between the old version scenic_byways_nov08.shp and the new version based on the field SCENIC_HWY and the information was exported.
GeoPlan updated the attribute table information, based on the following information.

The following are the 2009 All-American Road (AAR) and National Scenic Byways (NSB) designations:
Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway (NSB) Florida Keys Scenic Highway (AAR) Big Bend Scenic Byway (NSB) Ormond Scenic Loop & Trail (NSB)

GeoPlan updated the attribute table designation date with the following information. J.C. Penney Memorial Scenic Highway [04/30/10] River Of Lakes Heritage Corridor Scenic Highway [03/12/09] Heritage Crossroads: Miles Of History Scenic Highway [11/19/08] State Road A1A Broward County Scenic Highway [07/20/09]
Next the attributes were all uppercased. DESCRIPT was populated based on SCENIC_HWY.
Please Note: This dataset only contains DESIGNATED highways.

Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

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. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
