What counts as sidewalks: Sidewalk repair and obstruction complaints, curb damage, and sidewalk snow-and-ice clearance concerns.
In Somerville’s raw 311 data, the following 1 service_type are counted as sidewalks:
- Sidewalks & Streets
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <somerville_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Sidewalks & Streets'
)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'.
