Updated Fairfax Data #132

Open alongthepike opened 7 years ago

This filters Fairfax Trails much more stringently to try to filter out a lot of the junky little trails that don't go anywhere useful. This also includes the buffer clipping changes from #131 so as long as you're ok with the more stringent Fairfax filtering, this PR supersedes that one.

@alongthepike, I had a good talk with @alulsh about this, and it sounds like she touched base.

I first want to acknowledge that this is your time, it's valuable, and you're donating it. I'm super grateful for all your contributions. This set of revisions is ultimately what we need in a map but I want to hold off until the same kind of attn is paid to all the county data.

As discussed many, many, times, most counties have lots of little junky trails and corridors that shouldn't be here. But, consistency is helpful. And work you've taken on here builds a powerful argument for our/WABA/thetechbikecommunity demands for better and more consistent standards from our data.

I hope this stringent, and much more accurate revision is a useful talking point in tomorrow's presentation. And I'm excited by the prospect that this level of scrutiny might eventually be applied to all the data sets.
