# Purpose: Create a feature class of SDMTS trolly stops within 0.25 miles ( 1320 feet) of a freeway
# Import Arcgis scripting module, create the Geoprocessor object, and specify the workspace and toolbox
import argisscripting

gp.workspace = “C:\Temp\nadeem_python\SanDiegoData\SanDiego.gdb”
gp.toolbox = “analysis”
# Buffer freeways by 0.25 milrd (1320 feet).
gp.buffer(“freeways”, “Freeway_Buffers”, 1320)
print “The freeway buffers have been created.”
# Intersect trolley stops with freeway buffers to output stops within 0.25 miles ( 1320 feet) of a freeway
gp.Intersect_analysis(“trolleystop ; Freeway_Buffers” , “StopsNearFreeways”)
print “The intersect was completed.”
