Monthly sidewalks requests

How many sidewalks 311 requests Los Angeles residents file each month.

How this category is defined

What counts as sidewalks: Sidewalk repair and obstruction complaints, curb damage, and sidewalk snow-and-ice clearance concerns.

In Los Angeles’s raw 311 data, the following 4 service_type values are counted as sidewalks:

  • Curb Issues
  • Obstructions
  • Report a Sidewalk Problem
  • Sidewalk Repair Access Request Program

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <los_angeles_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Curb Issues',
  'Obstructions',
  'Report a Sidewalk Problem',
  'Sidewalk Repair Access Request Program'
)

Analyst tip: Austin uses 'TPW - Sidewalk Repair' and 'TPW - Obstruction in Right of Way'. Calgary's sidewalk-snow-and-ice calls come in under 'Bylaw - Snow and Ice on Sidewalk' (separate from the equivalent roadway category). LA splits this across 'Curb Issues', 'Obstructions', and 'Report a Sidewalk Problem'.
