I have an infrastructure layer that is lat/long values and has an SRID of 4269.

I have brought this shapefile into PostGIS to try and reproject the data to 3424 (state plane of NJ) this is my query to reproject 

ALTER TABLE infrastructure
   ALTER COLUMN geom 
   TYPE Geometry(Point, 3424) 
   USING ST_Transform(geom, 3424);

but it still shows up as lat long values when I do the below query

enter image description here

I then brought the infrastructure shapefile into qgis and all the hundreds out points showed up in one area outside of NJ...I am not sure what i am doing wrong here

    GeoJSON folks nowadays want that only supported coordinate system in GeoJSON is lon/lat. Perhaps that's the reason. Try some other output format. – user30184 Aug 31 '16 at 21:13
  • No state plane coords can be returned with the GeoJSON query – ziggy Sep 01 '16 at 14:08

You are altering the column not the column values I think, try updating the geometry.

Update infrastructure set geom= st_transform(geom,3424)

  • There is nothing wrong in the ALTER TABLE way, that's how it goes in PostGIS >= 2.0 http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/39138/reprojecting-all-geometries-in-postgis-table – user30184 Sep 01 '16 at 14:23
