20240708 02261200 1.0 TRUE <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV>The Regional Bicycle Transportation Network is a set of regionally significant existing and planned bicycle alignments and corridors. The RBTN was adopted by the Metropolitan Council as part of the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan on January 14, 2015. The RBTN was completed for the entire Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) as stipulated by the US Department of Transportation. Currently the MPA includes the 7 counties currently under the Metropolitan Council jurisdiction and extends into parts of Wright and Sherburne Counties. The boundary of the MPA is defined federal rules and is based density calculations from the US Census Bureau.The Metropolitan Council, as the Twin Cities Metropolitan Planning Organization, is required by federal law to include the entire MPA in all transportation related plans. As stated in the 2040 TPP, the goal of the RBTN is to establish an integrated seamless network of on-street bikeways and off-road trails to most effectively improve conditions for bicycle transportation at the regional level and to encourage planning and implementation of future bikeways by cities, counties, parks agencies, and the state, in support of the network vision. The network is subdivided into two tiers for regional planning and investment prioritization.Tier 1 Priority Regional Bicycle Transportation Corridors and Alignments.Tier 1 corridors are shown as broad purple bands in the data layer and are scaled to a ½-mile buffer for the suburban and rural areas of the region, and to ¼-mile buffered bands within the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. These are the corridors where a more specific bikeway alignment has not yet been designated. Tier 1 corridors have been identified in the TPP as having the highest priority for regional transportation planning and investment. Tier 1 alignments are shown as bold purple lines in the map layer and indicate where specific routes have been designated in the TPP. Tier 1 corridors and alignments are given the highest priority for transportation planning and investment in the TPP. These priority corridors and alignments are planned in locations where they can attract the most riders and where they can most effectively enhance mode choice in favor of biking, walking, and transit over driving alone. In addition, they provide the highest transportation function by connecting the most regional job and activity centers through the developed urban and suburban parts of the region.Tier 2 Regional Bicycle Transportation Corridors and Alignments. Tier 2 corridors are shown as broad green bands in the data layer and are scaled to a ½-mile buffer for the suburban and rural areas of the region, and to ¼-mile buffered bands within the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. These Tier 2 corridors are where a more specific bikeway alignment has not yet been designated. Tier 2 alignments are shown as bold green lines in the data layer and are where specific routes have been designated in the TPP.Tier 2 corridors and alignments have been identified in the TPP as having the second highest priority for transportation planning and investment. These corridors and alignments provide transportation connectivity to outlying regional destinations within and beyond the urban/suburban areas and serve to connect Tier 1 corridors and alignments.The linear features in this dataset which represent RBTN corridors are for illustrative purposes only. These linear features were used as the basis for the designation of a corridor where a RBTN alignment will be designated. Users should refer to the RBTN quarter and half mile buffers for a more accurate representation of the areas being considered for an RBTN alignment. Corridor centerlines are NOT recommended or suggested aligments. The dataset uses primarily two fields. The first is the Aligment field. It is a binary field where 1 indicates that the linear feature represents an aligment and 0 indicated that the linear feature represents a cooridor. The second field is called Final The final field indicates which linear features are Tier 1 (PRBTC) or Tier 2 (Network) and whether they are aligments (with aligments) or cooridors (- no alignments). </DIV></DIV></DIV> 2040 Transportation Policy Plan Regional Bicycle Transportation Network This is planning level data an is NOT intended for engineering or design level uses. The Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) data is represented in four classes. Tier 1 Alignment - The designated route alignment (conceptual) of a Tier 1 RBTN segment Tier 2 Alignment - The designated route alignment (conceptual) of a Tier 2 RBTN segment Tier 1 Corridor - A defined area where a Tier 1 Alignment should be planned Tier 2 Corridor - A defined area where a Tier 2 Alignment should be planned Metropolitan Council <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV>There are no use limitations</DIV></DIV></DIV> DBO.RBTNCorridorCenterlines /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAAQABAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGBQgHBwcJCQgKDBQNDAsLDBkSEw8UHRofHh0a HBwgJC4nICIsIxwcKDcpLDAxNDQ0Hyc5PTgyPC4zNDL/2wBDAQkJCQwLDBgNDRgyIRwhMjIyMjIy MjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjL/wAARCADIASwDASIA AhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQA AAF9AQIDAAQRBRIhMUEGE1FhByJxFDKBkaEII0KxwRVS0fAkM2JyggkKFhcYGRolJicoKSo0NTY3 ODk6Q0RFRkdISUpTVFVWV1hZWmNkZWZnaGlqc3R1dnd4eXqDhIWGh4iJipKTlJWWl5iZmqKjpKWm p6ipqrKztLW2t7i5usLDxMXGx8jJytLT1NXW19jZ2uHi4+Tl5ufo6erx8vP09fb3+Pn6/8QAHwEA AwEBAQEBAQEBAQAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtREAAgECBAQDBAcFBAQAAQJ3AAECAxEEBSEx BhJBUQdhcRMiMoEIFEKRobHBCSMzUvAVYnLRChYkNOEl8RcYGRomJygpKjU2Nzg5OkNERUZHSElK U1RVVldYWVpjZGVmZ2hpanN0dXZ3eHl6goOEhYaHiImKkpOUlZaXmJmaoqOkpaanqKmqsrO0tba3 uLm6wsPExcbHyMnK0tPU1dbX2Nna4uPk5ebn6Onq8vP09fb3+Pn6/9oADAMBAAIRAxEAPwD3+iii gAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKimBaPCkg5GCPrQBLRTUbcoPT1p1ABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQA UUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUwuF7N+Ck0 APopqsGzjPHqMU6gCI5jJIBIJyQO1PVgyhlIIPIIp1RlCCShwT2PSkBJRUXmbeJF2+/UfnUtMAoo ooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiii gAooooAi+4zFvusevpUtJ1GDTNjL91uPQ80gJKKiMhVfnQj/AHeakBDDIORTAWoWxErOo46kD/PW pqayhlKnkGhgKrBhkUtRlCCShwT2PQ0qvn5WG1vSlcB9RyfdH+8P51JUcn3R/vD+dNgSUUUUAITg ZPSgHIyKjk+ZgnY8t9KloAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKAC iiigAooooAKKKKACoypBLIRk9QehpxAYYIBHoaiaI4yjMp9AePyNJgSK4Y4IIPoafUKguMiV/cYH H6U7Y/aRvxA/woTAkprKGGDTdr/89D+QpUJK8nPJHTFAAm4ZVucdD6iiTov+8KdkZx3qBY3eNC00 mcA9F6/lQBYqMuSSqDJHUnoKfjjGfxoVQqgDoKYDVXaSSSSepp9FFABRRTAx8wr2wCKAH0UUUAFF FFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUyQkIcdTwKfTJP4f94U MBqqElwOhX+X/wCulmyIXIYqQCQRSSBtybDhs46dv8imO8jRSfInAI+8f8KkCTY3/PR/yH+FMSP5 SAzghj39896XzSpVTE/PQjGP50DeZQxAAII9/b+tAgAIn5bPy+nvUhYAgEgE9B60bRuDdwMVC/8A rt3ZQD/P/wCtT2GWKKKjMiDjcPw5pgPJAGTS1HL/AKp/YZqSgApigElwc7v5U+ozHnozL9DSAkop iljwy49/Wn0wCiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAo6Cioiz7T+ 7z9CKAE2iVgzINoHG4DmmurIqhWBAYYBHv61JEQYlx6Yok6p/vVNgFIJdT2GaYciGXP+1U1RSIWA UswDcHGP8KbQCv8Aej/3v6GpKrAMWTMrHDkc49D7VZoQBUEobEx6Ax4H15qemMxGFUcn8hQwGkmR yFOAOpHekJ2sm3G3kH/P4VIyK3UA1GFCGNR03Ej9aQh/mxkfeFRRSZjARTnnGRirFRxZ2DIxyf50 xhh/+en/AI7Qhbc4Y5weOPapKaFAJPqc0WAdRTGkRPvMB9TR5g7Kx/Ci4D6Kiw79yntwT+NLtb++ fwAouAZ/fYH93n29P61JSKoUYApaYBRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFF AEbIQCU4JOT71DukMiqQMDnnjJq1SMoYYIyKVgGZl/uJ/wB9H/CmI8uCSqkBiMA89aeFbBBc9eDx nFNWFVB3ZYkk5NLUCKHbJI5RiD3x9T1H4VYVWHVyfwqNESGQ7VCqQAMDjOT/AI1PRFAFRsoL/K21 upx3+tSVGP8AXt/uj+ZpgMWcA7ZBtOce1LkkxE9c8/lTzGhySoJPU1FJmN0O4ld3IPbj1pCJTIqn DHH1pFZAvDgjPXNOYkLlRk1D91gSC2T97PAz6UxliopS+35MDkcnnv6VLRTAYqKvQdep7mn0UUAF FFFACEgDJOBQCCMg5BpCilskZPvTqACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACml1DYLAH0zTqQ gEYIBHvQAtFR+WBxub6Zpj74wCp3DIBDH365pXAnprMFGWIApm12GWbb7DtSRJnMhJbJ+Xd2FFwH byfuoSPU8UvmAfe+U+9PooAiyz/dJVfXHJp6gjqxb64p1FMCo7siKgCsQyjAbnr9KnzL3Rcf73/1 qNgBTaAADn9KkpJAIMkcjBpu394W9QB/P/Gn0UwGNux8uM+/ekILFCQBg8j8KfkbsZ560ABRgDik Ajlth2gFscAnFRbZPKWPA4GCc9akDZcrjoBSM7L/AA8Z65oYCoCqKCckDFPpjtt28ZycU+gAoopp YLyfXFMB1FFFABRTA2WYAcDv70+gAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKrys+2VcLj bkEntirFRn/XL/un+YpMCOVnWF8pu4/h/wDr1KJFJIPBHY1FIjKqiNgBuHDDPenkO3VFz6nmkIkz npS0xQ44wgHtTiAwwRkVQxkZzubqCeDQRJnIIPtj+tSUUrARFiEYuCuBng1LUc3+pf8A3TUlAEYz 5zDPG0f1pCxLDYxBHUFTimlwJ2UDLbRwPxp0juFwigueg7UgBclzuwSBwR0p5DbuGGPTFRxbEVUC sMccqf51NTQEaf6yT6j+VPIDAg9DTHByrKMkHn6UpUn+Nh7DH+FADUG6MBuf/rGns20ZPShV2qAP 1p1MAqOT7g/3l/mKTaY/uDK/3fT6U9WVlypyKQDqKKKYEa8SOPXB/p/SpKjXHmufov8AX+tSUkAU UUUwCiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACkwM570tFADJPuj/AHh/On0zcCxUjB6jPen0gCii imAwttYDHB4zT6aw3Drg9RTWYqwyCQfQZxSAqG5ZoyrMFY5XGw9eRjOcZ4qQljKOJWBHJACgY+vP 5VP5g/uv/wB8mnqQwyKVgKyIwnbLKgKrhR1zz371YCheg+vvTXA3xnH8X9DUlNIBqqFGB9adRTA2 XK46AGmA+iiigAooooAKjZDnchwe/oakooAYj7uCMMOop9MkBK5X7w5FI7ZgZ1P8JIP4UgCP7pPq x/nUlIAFAAGAKWmAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFADHXcAR94cik8w943/T /GpKKQDPM/2H/KnKdwzgj60tFMAooooAKiddoZw7AdSBipajm/1En+6f5UmA1lk3KchlHODwafG/ mLnBHJGDT6iQYkkHqQ39P6UbAS1GP9c30H9akqMf65voP60MCSiiimAUUUUAFFFFABSEBgQeh60t FABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABRRRQAUUUUAFFFFABUcqs0bKuM kY5qSigCPEn+z+Zpg83z2+5jaPX1NT1ESVlzsJG3qKVgF3sOqH6rzTBIgm5ONwAGRjnmn+anckfU EUyWRWiYDk44470gJ6KKKoAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooA KKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiiigAo oooAKKKKAP/Z
