The repetition of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines empower City with pulsing energy. These radiating lines represent the power that enlivens the city with electricity, power that moves trains and trolleys, power that provides communication and internet services, power that brightens the theatrical stages of Broadway, power that motorizes assembly lines, and power that furnishes creature comforts in our homes. Without power the city would not flourish.
