This is possible with Python and Basic license, although untested for large datasets (I did run this against 1000+ points and it was fine). First step is to dissolve all roads into a single feature, although you could loop through them with added code. >>> points = "points_select" # points layer ... sr = arcpy.Describe(points).spatialReference # get CRS ... lines = "roads_select" # roads feature class containing single, merged feature for all roads ... out_lines = [] # output list ... line_geom = [i[0] for i in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(lines,'SHAPE@',spatial_reference=sr)] # the road feature ... with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(points,'SHAPE@') as cursor: # loop through points ... for row in cursor: ... end = line_geom[0].queryPointAndDistance(row[0])[0].centroid # get nearest point on line ... start = row[0].centroid ... out_lines.append(arcpy.Polyline(arcpy.Array([start,end]),sr)) # connect the dots and add to line list ... arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(out_lines,r'in_memory\out_lines') # write line list to disk‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Code in question (I believe you do need a field called 'count', although I'm not familiar with the old cursors, anymore): import sys, arcpy #InFeatClass = sys.argv[1] #OutFeatClass = sys.argv[2] InFeatClass = "S:/GIS_Public/GIS_Data/DefaultGDB/Default.gdb/tempUnitsperParcel" OutFeatClass = "S:/GIS_Public/GIS_Data/DefaultGDB/Default.gdb/tempUnitsperParcel4" # overwriting output is ok. arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True # copy the count = 1 features to create a new feature class, saves having to do # new feature class, copy spatial reference and fields.. arcpy.Select_analysis(InFeatClass,OutFeatClass,"UNIT_NUMBE = 1") # setup cursor objects - search the source, isert the destination InsCur = arcpy.InsertCursor(OutFeatClass) SrchCur = arcpy.SearchCursor(InFeatClass,"UNIT_NUMBE > 1") # get the list of fields to copy FieldList = arcpy.ListFields(InFeatClass,"*") NoCalcFields = ["FID","OBJECTID","SHAPE"]           for InRow in SrchCur:     # create a range and then iterate over it     # inserting a new row for each count     CountRange = range(InRow.count)     for indx in CountRange:           newRow = InsCur.newRow() # create a new (empty) feature           # copy values from the source to the destination         for ThisField in FieldList:             if ThisField.name.upper() not in NoCalcFields:                 newRow.setValue(ThisField.name,InRow.getValue(ThisField.name))         # copy the shape         newRow.setValue("SHAPE",InRow.getValue("SHAPE"))         # Store it         InsCur.insertRow(newRow)     ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
