The Road Closures solution needs a polygon layer.
Our specific need for this is to mark areas that are closed due to an event (1) or to indicate that there is a work crew (2) in this area, so folks need to use more caution.
1. an event could be a parade route and include that route as a line but also an area that includes the street parking, maybe a couple of intersections, and the parking lots (where folks are unloading and setting up) that are associated with that parade.
2. Maintenance crews cannot always predict the progress that they will make in a day. Designating an area for "extra" caution is easier than saying THIS one street and MAYBE this other street. Allowing an area means we can be more responsible in communication to customers.
I'll be editing the json to add a poly layer to the layer group that is in the solution. I want a nice tidy service and not a group layer and then a poly layer. Please include a poly layer in this space. It doesn't have to have much in it, I can extend the layer once it exists. From what I see in the community adding a poly layer through editing the json may or may not work. I'm asking for some forethought and planning; give us the poly layer before we need it.
