How this category is extracted

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

In Toronto’s raw 311 feed, the following 5 service_type values roll into sidewalks:

  • Bike Lane Winter Maintenance Required
  • Icy Sidewalk Needs Salting
  • Illegal Snow Dumping & Failure to Clear Snow or Ice on Public Sidewalk
  • Report an Encroachment on City Property
  • Sidewalk Snow Clearing Required

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <toronto_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Bike Lane Winter Maintenance Required',
  'Icy Sidewalk Needs Salting',
  'Illegal Snow Dumping & Failure to Clear Snow or Ice on Public Sidewalk',
  'Report an Encroachment on City Property',
  'Sidewalk Snow Clearing Required'
)

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'.
