How this category is extracted
What counts as parking: Enforcement complaints about illegally parked vehicles, blocked driveways, parking meter issues, and parking-sign maintenance. Distinct from `abandoned_vehicles`, which is about long-term neglect rather than enforcement.
In Ottawa’s raw 311 feed, the following 1 service_type roll into parking:
- Parking Control Enforcement
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <ottawa_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Parking Control Enforcement'
)Analyst tip: Austin prefixes with 'TPW - Parking' (Transportation and Public Works). NYC uses 'Blocked Driveway' and 'Illegal Parking'. LA has a broad 'Parking Issues' plus 'Dockless Mobility Enforcement' for scooter parking. Oakland simply uses 'PARKING'. Note: abandoned vehicles are a SEPARATE category in this dataset.
