Layer: Building Polygons (0)


Name: Building Polygons

Display Field: BLPOLY_ID

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: Polygons representing the shape of buildings compiled from various scales and sources. The polygons can represent footprints, rooflines, pedways or podiums.The data was collected with various methods including scanning & rectifying location certificates, digitizing from air photography.This dataset is still a work in progress and there is ongoing work to improve graphic representations and improve completeness.Metadata
