The SGID SGID93.TRANSPORTATION.Roads (known as U024.Transportation.StatewideStreets in the SGID 9.2 Database) feature class has been updated on the SGID ArcSDE Database Server. Shapefiles and File-Based Geodatabase files for Roads are available for download on the SGID FTP site. Geocoding services, ArcIMS Applications, and ArcGIS Server Applications & Web Services are now using this new data.

County Updates: 

• Daggett: Received centerline update 9/17/09: new roads added; geocoding improvements
• Millard: Received centerline update of addressed roads 8/27/09: new roads added; geocoding improvements
• Salt Lake: Received centerline update of Emigration Canyon 9/8/08: updated entire dataset; geocoding improvements
• Utah: Received centerline update 8/19/09: new roads added; geocoding improvements

UDOT Route System:

• Statewide: Improvements were made to the geometry and attributes that describe the UDOT state and federal routes (DOT_RTNAME, DOT_F_MP, DOT_T_M). Also, the DOT_RTID field that stores the unique route identifiers was updated.

The Utah Department of Technology Services, as part of a mandate to meet best practices for implementing secure DNS, is splitting the state DNS servers into internal and external environments. The domain “utah.gov” will be the State’s official public-facing domain. Any records hosted on the State’s internal DNS servers (state.ut.us) will not be accessible from the Internet unless through use of the State’s VPN service. This change is currently scheduled for Wednesday, September 16th @ 18:00 hrs.

This change will affect your ability to access the following AGRC resources: 9.2 SGID, Image Server, and direct FTP data download.

A new ArcGIS 9.3 compatible composite address locator is now available from the agrc ftp site.To download, right click on the link below and select Save Target As: 

ftp://ftp.agrc.utah.gov/SGID93_Vector/NAD83/AddressLocator/GC93_StatewideRoads_COMPOSITE.loc

After saving this file, make sure the file extension is .loc NOT .loc.txt This a file-based locator file with a .loc extension. This small file references 4 address locators on the SGID ArcSDE database server and can be used from ArcCatalog or ArcMap. The composite locator references the SGID93.Transportation.StatewideRoads feature class and its S_NAME, ALIAS_1, ALIAS_2, and ACS_NAME fields.

It should not need to be rebuilt as changes are made to the SGID93.Transportation.StatewideRoads feature class . A high speed internet connection is necessary for this locator to perform adequately.

The SGID93.Transportation.StatewideRoads feature class contains several attributes to hold alias street names and address coordinate system (ACS) aliases. Examples.

• Broadway is a street name alias for 300 S in Salt Lake City
  
• Highway 68 is a street name alias for Redwood Road in SL County
• 1700 W is an ACS alias for Redwood Road in SL County

When setting up a standard address locator in ArcGIS, these fields are not taken into consideration in finding candidate locations for an address to be geocoded. A composite address locator allows for the alias and ACS alias data to be used to make a match when a match is not found when just considering the street name field (S_NAME).

Why is this being distributed as a file? Composite address locators do not currently work when stored within ArcSDE.
