In order to appropriately manage City parks and allocate resources, NYC Parks has implemented three tiers of management [below the Borough level]. These three tiers can be represented as administrative geographic boundaries and are defined below:

District - One or more parks that are combined and generally align with New York City Community Boards.

Sector - One or more Park Districts that are combined in order share resources for daily maintenance.

Region - One or more Park Sectors that are combined and assigned a regional managers who provides high-level, strategic planning and support for Parks managers, including maximizing resources between Districts and Sectors.

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.

The Transportation Division of the New York City Department of City Planning (NYCDCP) has performed annual bike counts in Manhattan since 1999. The counts have been conducted along designated bicycle routes at 10 on-street and 5 off-street locations during the fall season. These locations have remained generally consistent. The data collected includes cyclist/user volumes, helmet usage, use of bike lane, gender, etc. The bike counts data can offer insights into the overall trends in user demographics and travel patterns over time.

Blockface data from the TreesCount! 2015 Street Tree Census, conducted by volunteers and staff organized by NYC Parks & Recreation and partner organizations. Blockface data includes tree counts and data collection status by block. Accompanying street tree data is available, indicating tree-level details such as tree species, size and other characteristics.

Safety-oriented engineering improvements that use multiple treatments (signals, markings, concrete etc) on both corridors and intersections. Improvements are generally aimed at better organizing traffic, improving travel times, creating shorter, safer pedestrian crossings, and safe routes for bicycle travel. The map displays operational (non-capital) projects from 2009 to YTD. For more information on the individual projects, please visit the DOT website: https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/about/current-projects.shtml

The Flood Vulnerability Index (FVI) assesses the distribution of vulnerability to flooding across NYC in order to guide flood resilience policies and programs. Vulnerability contains three components: exposure to a hazard, susceptibility to harm from the exposure, and capacity to recover (Cutter et al., 2009). There are six hazard-specific FVIs, one for each of the six different flood hazard scenarios, which include current and two future storm surge scenarios and current and two future tidal flooding scenarios. Exposures vary for different types of flooding and different scenarios within each flood type.

Each FVI consists of two component sub-indices: an exposure index and an index that reflects susceptibility to harm and capacity to recover. The exposure index is different in each FVI in order to capture the different exposures to each of the flood hazard scenarios. The sub-index that reflects susceptibility to harm and capacity to recover -- the Flood Susceptibility to Harm and Recovery Index (FSHRI) -- is the same for each FVI. It aggregates 12 socio-economic indicators correlated with various types of hardships that people may suffer due to flooding and different dimensions of ability to recover.

This data tracks the blocks that have been planted through NYC Parks’ street tree block planting program, a major component of the MillionTreesNYC initiative. When a block planting is completed for specific street segment, all available and appropriate locations for street tree installation have been planted. This dataset is based on the Citywide Street Centerline data.

This is a dataset of crime incidents in the City of Buffalo. This dataset is updated daily and offers a preliminary look at crime reports in the City of Buffalo. See disclaimer in metadata below for further information.

All corridors in each borough were ranked on a pedestrian KSI (killed and severely injured) per-mile basis. Corridors were selected from the top of this list until the cumulative number of KSI reached half of the borough’s total. Developed as part of the Borough Pedestrian Safety Action Plans.

Privately owned public spaces, also known by the acronym POPS, are outdoor and indoor spaces provided for public enjoyment by private owners in exchange for bonus floor area or waivers, an incentive first introduced into New York City’s zoning regulations in 1961. To find out more about POPS, visit the Department of City Planning's website at http://nyc.gov/pops. This database contains detailed information about each privately owned public space in New York City.

Data Source: Privately Owned Public Space Database (2018), owned and maintained by the New York City Department of City Planning and created in collaboration with Jerold S. Kayden and The Municipal Art Society of New York.
