Monthly parking requests

How many parking 311 requests Vancouver residents file each month.

How this category is defined

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 Vancouver’s raw 311 data, the following 2 service_type values are counted as parking:

  • ENG - Parking Enforcement and Operations
  • ENG - Parking Management

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <vancouver_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'ENG - Parking Enforcement and Operations',
  'ENG - Parking Management'
)

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.
