...

  1. In the Contents pane, click and hold the Census_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood layer name and drag and drop it above the BusStops layer Major_Roads layer.

You will notice that the Census_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood layer is now drawn in on top of the BusStops layer Major_Roads layer, meaning that bus stops freeways are only visible in areas not covered by a super neighborhood. It is possible to add transparency to the super neighborhood layer or to symbolize it with a bold outline and a hollow fill, but, in general, it is best to have polygon layers at the bottom, so we will return the layers to their previous order.

  1. In the Contents pane, click and hold the Census_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood layer name and drag and drop it beneath the BusRoutesNBN Major_Roads layer, but above the Topographic basemap.
