Highway Plan Lines

These are lines that occurred on the city’s 1901-1905 set of master plans for all proposed roads. If a highway planning line crosses a particular property, that land cannot become a Record Lot by subdivision, even if the proposed street is no longer needed or will never be built. However there is a procedure through which a proposed road can be removed from the Highway Plan freeing up affected land for subdivision or development. If a Highway Plan line intersects a property, it acts as a building restriction line, prohibiting the creation of new record lots and limiting subdivision.该数据集可供地方政府机构开展华盛顿哥伦比亚特区（Washington, D.C.）的规划与管理工作时使用。
