The following update has been made to GIS data residing on the State Geographic Information Database’s ArcSDE server, agrc.state.ut.us (v9.2):
The SGID U024.Transportation.StatewideStreets feature class has been updated on the SGID ArcSDE Database Server. Shapefiles and File-Based Geodatabase files for StatewideStreets are also available for download on the SGID FTP site. Geocoding services, ArcIMS Applications, and ArcGIS Server Applications & Web Services are now using this new data.
Important note: This new data implements the new 84081 and 84721 zip codes made in West Jordan and Cedar City [more information] so if you're using this data for geocoding, you'll want to make sure that your address data carries the new zip codes in these areas.
The update includes (by geographic extent:
Statewide: CFCC vs. ALT_NAME vs. S_TYPE attribute improvements; LABEL field is no longer populated with SUF_DIR for alpha streets
Box Elder: Major Highway attribute improvements
Davis: ‘Schick Lane’ issue resolved - now called ‘Bonneville Lane’; geocoding/attribute improvements; Layton -updated entire dataset; edge-matching improvements (Blue Stakes of Utah edt suggections)
Duchesne: geocoding improvements between Fruitland and Starvation Reservoir
Juab: edge-matching improvements
Iron: attributed streets within the new Cedar City zip code 84721
Millard: edge-matching improvements
Morgan: geocoding/attribute improvements (Blue Stakes of Utah edt suggections)
Salt Lake County: Major Highway attribute improvements; added additional roads from features from the ‘SaltLakeCoSurveyorStreets’ layer that were not previously in dataset; zip code improvements; attributed streets within the new West Jordan zip code 84081
Sanpete: duplicated roads removed
Summit: geocoding/attribute improvements (Blue Stakes of Utah edt suggections)
Tooele: added additional roads that were not previously in dataset. And also: geocoding improvements in Stansbury Park; I-80 on/off ramp improvements (Blue Stakes of Utah edt suggections)
The Utah geospatial community has been engaged in the development of a Strategic Plan for the last half year. The vision is for the Utah Geospatial Infrastructure (UGI) to deliver map-based information and services to citizens, businesses, and government to enhance the safety, economy, environment, and quality of life in Utah, through the collaborative efforts of the Utah geospatial community.
Throughout the strategic planning process, we endeavored to engage the entire Utah geospatial community through facilitated public workshops, small group meetings, surveys, and one on one interviews. Through this iterative process, the vision, definition and goals were developed. Additional detail was added to create the draft Strategic Plan we are distributing at this time.
We need your comments, edits, and impressions of the Plan at this time. We would like to hear from you about content and format, specifics about the vision, definition, and goals, and deletions or additions you suggest to the document.

The Utah GIS community has another opportunity to develop partnerships to leverage federal funds for acquiring aerial imagery in 2009.
The USGS will support the acquisition of one foot imagery along the Wasatch Front roughly from Spanish Fork to Brigham City and the Dugway Proving Ground. A pdf-based map shows the specific areas that USGS will fund within a light green boundary.
Through our partnership for the 2006 imagery, we were able to significantly increase the area covered as well as upgrading to a better resolution. We can try to do that again if your agency is interested in participating. Generally the better pricing was based on increasing the size of the areas that were contiguous. For planning purposes we are using $100/sq. mi. for estimating costs. The flight would be in the spring of 2009 and vendor(s) will be selected through the state's RFP processes.
We have some time to get the details worked out, including getting your input to define the specs for the products, but would like to begin identifying partners. If your agency is interested in participating, please contact:
