# Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Digitization

## Background

Each fiscal year, ATD has several Capital Improvement Projects that need to be mapped. DTS GIS staff typically receive an excel file with the geographic bounds of the projects to be mapped, along with the Sub Project ID and Sub Project Name. ATD CIPs live in `ATD_ADMIN.atd_cip_poly` in the `ATD_ADMIN.Strucure` dataset MAINT, and geodatapusher updates them to DataMart periodically.

## Digitization 

It is recommended that the projects are initially digitized in a line feature class that traces the street centerline and then buffered to the appropriate width, according to the below specs:

| Project Type             | Buffer Distance       | Length |
| ------------------------ | --------------------- | ------ |
| Single Road              | 50 ft from centerline | 350 ft |
| Intersection - main road | 50 ft from centerline | 350 ft |
| Intersection - side road | 50 ft from centerline | 150 ft |

The line buffers are then merged into a single feature. There is an existing scratch polygon feature class `Database: G:\ATD\ATD_GIS\RNA\RNA.gdb Feature Class: RNA_052019` with the necessary fields for ATD's CIP feature class. Once the bounds and attributes have been QA-ed, they can be brought into ATDs CIP feature class.
