Hello and thank you for any help, advice or guidance on this issue.

Currently, I work as a GIS technician so I feel very comfortable learning and understanding new concepts with GIS, but I am stuck on trying to load data using only relates into my city's Local Government Information Model(LGIM).

Goal:

- Have bike lanes integrated into our LGIM using a relate to avoid adding fields into LGIM feature classes. Ultimately, if we can have the LG feature class contain relates to other tables of data that describes these bike lanes.

Details: 

-The target feature class is (facilities streets) streetbikelane

-My source of data is from a bikelanes_routes shapefile

-Attempted to use joins, but I don't want to add a field to the feature class, which is what I need to do in order to create a join

Below I've attached my raw data shapefile of the bike lanes

I am open to any suggestions to minimize editing fields of the LG feature classes.

ckohlerpeoria‌ Could you explain why you are avoiding adding fields to the LGIM layers? As ou are describing, this would make your project simpler. These layers are designed as a starting point and we fully expect you to need to add fields, modify domains, etc to suit your organization's needs.
