shrug-l: Impervious land cover layer

[Christopher Smith]

Have a look at "Florida Cooperative Land Cover (Vector)" from FNAI/FFWCC: http://geodata.myfwc.com/datasets?q=cooperative%20land%20cover
That should give you much better resolution for roadways in addition to High Intensity Urban Areas which are basically impervious.

Otherwise for parking lots and buildings that's hit-and-miss on the county level. For filling gaps where you cannot acquire county level impervious datasets you may be able to pull a lot of feature types from OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org.

Hope that helps.

Subject: shrug-l: Impervious land cover layer

Hello,

We are looking for an already existing data set for Florida of impervious surfaces.  Something that includes roads, buildings, parking lots, etc.  We are looking for data already created, not suggestions on how to make one ourselves.  We are aware of an impervious dataset derived from the National Land Cover Dataset, but we are not finding it very accurate.
Any suggestions for where to find such a layer other than the NLCD derived one?

Thanks,
Janis Morrow
