How this category is extracted
What counts as sidewalks: Sidewalk repair and obstruction complaints, curb damage, and sidewalk snow-and-ice clearance concerns.
In San Francisco’s raw 311 feed, the following 2 service_type values roll into sidewalks:
- Blocked Street and Sidewalk
- Sidewalk and Curb
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <san_francisco_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Blocked Street and Sidewalk',
'Sidewalk and Curb'
)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'.
