How this category is extracted

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

In Washington’s raw 311 feed, the following 2 service_type values roll into sidewalks:

  • Sidewalk Repair
  • Snow Removal Complaints for Sidewalks

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <washington_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Sidewalk Repair',
  'Snow Removal Complaints for Sidewalks'
)

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'.
