Process_Description:
WSDOT Quad series design files (DGN files) including ferry routes were combined into a single file. This was converted to an Arc/Info coverage using Arc command "IGDSARC." The data was transformed to geographic coordinates using Arc commands "PROJECTDEFINE" and "PROJECT." Attributes of Ownership and State Route Number (if applicable) were added to the arc attribute table in ArcView, and the result converted to a shapefile.
