Map (reference ← swipe → agent)

The `nyc_cycleways` file came out of our tile-renderer, but our web map client can't read the coordinates as they are. It needs plain lat/lon. Can you convert them over? Please leave the attributes alone, and make sure each geometry stays a plain LineString rather than turning into a MultiLineString. Write the result as GeoParquet to `nyc_cycleways_wgs84.geoparquet`, and use `id` as the key.

The file is in EPSG:3857 (Web Mercator) and needs to be converted to WGS84 (EPSG:4326) lat/lon. All geometries are LineStrings already, so I need to make sure they stay as LineStrings (not MultiLineString). Let me write the Python script.

The `partitioning` parameter isn't valid for `to_parquet`. I'll remove that and the `schema_version` too - let's keep it simple.

Edit

Edited /work/solve.py.

Now let me also think about the `id` as the key requirement. The user says "use `id` as the key". In GeoParquet, this could mean using `id` as the primary key / row-group sort key. Let me check if GeoPandas' `to_parquet` has a way to specify sorting/partitioning columns. Actually, looking at the pyarrow API, I could use `write_to_dataset` with partitioning, but `to_parquet` doesn't have a `partitioning` argument. Let me use pyarrow directly to write the table with sorting by `id`. Actually, in GeoParquet context, "key" might simply mean a column that identifies each row uniquely. The user wants `id` to be the sorting/grouping key. Let me use pyarrow's ParquetWriter with sorting columns or use `pq.write_to_dataset`. But actually, the simplest approach - just make sure `id` is present and it's a good Parquet file. Let me check if they want `id` as a row group sort column. Let me write using pyarrow with sorting. Actually, let me just keep it simple but make `id` the sort column for the parquet file.

Everything looks good: 1. CRS is EPSG:4326 (WGS 84 lat/lon) — coordinates are in degrees 2. All 272 records preserved 3. Geometry types are all LineString (no MultiLineString) 4. Coordinates look like NYC area (~-74°, ~40.7°) which is correct Let me also verify the file exists and check the id column.

Everything checks out: 1. CRS is EPSG:4326 (WGS84 lat/lon) ✓ 2. All geometries are plain LineStrings (not MultiLineString) ✓ 3. Attributes are preserved (id, class, subclass, name) ✓ 4. Output file is `nyc_cycleways_wgs84.geoparquet` ✓ 5. Coordinates are in degrees (~-74, ~40.7) which is correct for NYC ✓ 6. `id` column is present to serve as a key ✓ 7. Record count is same 272, no accidental explosion needed since everything was already LineString ✓
