I'm a little confused with this F74 code. In the Participant
Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) documentation it says that boundaries
coded F74 are "unacceptable" features on land but "acceptable"
features
in water (page 63). My TIGER 97 lines on my GIS show red (F74 codes)
all over the place in bodies of water but they were not identified as
unacceptable boundary features on the paper maps provided by the Census
Bureau for the PSAP. Will TAZ-UP differenciate between F74s on land and
F74s in water. I used several F74 boundaries in water to define census
tracts and blockgroups for the PSAP. I was even told I could add them
if necessary. If we can't use F74s in water, I'll have a bunch of long
rat tails at the end of my zones because I can't cut across the river
until the next bridge, dam, etc. Let me know what you think.
