- Abstract
- New York City Subway Lines, 2009 is a line theme representing the New York City subway lines. Attribute data include the names of the lines and indication whether the segments of the lines are above or below ground. The raw data for the line files is from the New York State Department of Transportation. Files are provided in the projection NAD83 to align with the NYCMap basemap.
- Purpose
- The original New York City subway line and station data were intended to register reasonably well with existing NYC Department of City Planning base map data, e.g. the LION file or the tax block map. ComCarto has adjusted alignment to the NYCMap base, and has added attribute data indicating whether the segments of the lines are above or below ground.
