As part of the basemap data layers, the street centerline map layer is an integral part of the Lexington Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. Basemap data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. More advanced user applications may focus on thematic mapping, summarization of data by geography, or planning purposes (including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, network analysis, geocoding, and presentation output).

This dataset is designed to represent and locate the street centerlines in Lexington-Fayette County. The street centerlines are broken down into line segments that run from intersection to intersect and include street maintance, ownership, address ranges, and name information. The centerlines are updates through a variety of methods. Most commonly new streets are added from georeferenced plats, but corrections are alwo made by GPS collection and referencing to aerial photos.

The data is in ESRI feature class format, but can be exported to any number of supported formats, including shapefile and dxf. The native projection for the data is Kentucky State Plane North (NAD83), but may have been reprojected for use in other applications. Please check metadata to determine current projection.
