Abstract

Metro Entrance Structures - DC only. This dataset contains polygons representing Metro Parapets, Canopies, and Buildings surrounding or enclosing metro entrances. This was created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies.

All DC GIS data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters.

METADATA CONTENT IS IN PROCESS OF VALIDATION AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
