Additional information about NYC DOT's commitment to safe all-ages and abilities bicycling, along with data about the growth of bicycling in NYC and PDF maps of the current network can be found at: https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bicyclists/bicyclists.shtml

New York City's Open Streets program transforms streets into public spaces open to all. These public spaces allows a variety of activities including education and cultural programming as well as building communities.

On November 20, 2019, Mayor de Blasio signed into law LL199 of 2019, requiring the establishment of Commercial Waste Zones throughout New York City. The result of years of planning, analysis, and stakeholder engagement by DSNY, the Commercial Waste Zones (CWZ) program will create a safe and efficient commercial waste collection system that advances the City’s Green New Deal and zero waste goals while providing high-quality, low-cost service to NYC businesses. For more information, see: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/resources/reports/commercial-waste-zones-plan. The zone map did change slightly after DSNY adopted final rules in February 2020: https://rules.cityofnewyork.us/sites/default/files/adopted_rules_pdf/cwz_map_final_rule_-_2-7-20_-_legal_10594369.pdf. Pre-COVID, DSNY was expecting to release the RFP for servicing the zones in May 2020 and enter into the long-term contracts in early 2021. With the enormous disruptions to commercial establishments and the carting industry from the pandemic and economic shutdown, the program is on an indefinite pause until the industry is able to start recovering and stabilizing.

The zones were adopted by final rules in February 2020. DSNY does not expect to change them for at least the ten year term of the commercial waste zone contracts. It would take a new rule making to change the boundaries.

The Schoolyards to Playgrounds initiative began with PlaNYC 2007 as a way to expand public use at existing City facilities and improve access to open spaces during non-school hours which includes weekends, holidays, and during the summer.

NYC Parks, in collaboration with the Department of Education (DOE) and the nonprofit Trust for Public Land have improved hundreds of DOE operated schoolyards through capital improvements, including play equipment, painted sports surfaces, trees, and benches.

The program is an important approach to reaching the city’s target to getting more New Yorkers within walking distance to open-space. In many neighborhoods, these DOE schoolyards are one of the few resources that can be improved and provide publicly accessible open space.

Each record in this dataset represents a participating DOE Schoolyard at the time of the dataset's publication. The schoolyard's boundaries have been drawn in whole or part using secondary data. Data accuracy is limited by the scale and accuracy of the original sources. Site-specific conditions should be field-verified.

This dataset may be updated throughout the year as school's join or exit the program.

Priority Bicycle Districts are neighborhoods with comparatively high numbers of cyclist KSI (Killed or Seriously Injured) and few dedicated bicycle facilities. These districts, seven in Brooklyn and three in Queens, represent 14% of the City’s bicycle lane network and 23% of cyclist KSI. NYC DOT identified these areas in the 2017 report “Safer Cycling: Bicycle Ridership and Safety in New York City.” The agency has prioritized these areas for bicycle network expansion.

CPI Zones are neighborhoods where NYC Parks pursued a combination of capital investment and/or targeted physical improvements, enhanced programming, and public outreach efforts through the Community Parks Initiative launched in 2014. CPI Zones were boundaries based on the NYC Department of City Planning's Neighborhood Tabulation Areas. These NTAs were selected as they capture neighborhoods that met several criteria for the initiative. They are densely populated and growing neighborhoods where there are higher-than-average concentrations of poverty as measured through the 2010 US Census, and they contain parks that are suitable for recreational redevelopment and received less than $250,000 in capital investment from 1992-2013.

GIS data: Community Districts (Water areas included)

Community Districts are mandated by the city charter to review and monitor quality of life issues for New York City (NYC) neighborhoods. NYC is currently comprised of 59 community districts. The first byte is a borough code and the second and third bytes are the community district number. There are also 12 Joint Interest Areas (JIAs). The JIAs are major parks and airports and are not contained within any community district. This dataset is being provided by the Department of City Planning (DCP) for informational purposes only.
