Each record is either an individual drinking fountain or multiple drinking fountains that are attached to each other. NYC Parks created the dataset using collector for arcgis. All outdoor drinking fountains in parks were collected and a rigorous QA/QC process followed. In addition to the GPS coordinates the dataset includes descriptions of its physical environment and attributes about the drinking fountain itself.

NYCDOT sets parking meter rates across the five boroughs to be reflective of individual neighborhood parking conditions such as land use, density, and parking demand. Individual rate zones are represented in this dataset by large geographic areas. NYCDOT provides this map for informational purpose only. Confirm the rate at the parking meter or on the ParkNYC app before paying and observe all posted signs.

This is the 100-Year Floodplain for the 2050s based on FEMA's Preliminary Work Map data and the New York Panel on Climate Change's 90th Percentile Projects for Sea-Level Rise (31 inches).

Effective July 14, 2009, physician offices that perform surgical or invasive procedures using more than mild sedation must be accredited by one of three accrediting agencies. The NYSDOH collects OBS practice site accreditation data from each of the accrediting agencies monthly. The OBS practice accreditation site data is used to keep an accurate list of accredited OBS practice sites for patient safety and regulatory efforts.

On November 7, 2014, New York City’s default speed limit was changed from 30 mph to 25 mph. Unless otherwise signed, all streets in New York City are governed by this 25 mph speed limit. Driving at or below 25 MPH decreases stopping distance, gives drivers and pedestrians more time to see each other and react, and improves drivers’ ability to avoid crashes. Pedestrians struck by vehicles traveling at 25 MPH are half as likely to die as those struck at 30 MPH. If crashes do occur, the severity of injuries is reduced a lower speeds. The information shown here was compiled by the New York City Department of Transportation for governmental purposes. The information is updated as soon as reasonably practicable. The public is advised that speed limits are subject to temporary or permanent change and that posted signage must be observed for compliance with laws and regulations.

The New York City Places point file was created as a guide to New York City’s non-neighborhood place locations that appear in “New York: A City of Neighborhoods.” These place locations include parks, cemeteries, and airports.

The Walk to a Park initiative focuses on increasing access to parks and open spaces, concentrating on areas of the city that are under-resourced and where residents are living further than a walk to a park. NYC Parks calculates the number of New Yorkers within walking distance of a park and reports on this as part of the Mayor’s Management Report. “Walking distance” is defined as a 1/4-mile or less for sites such as small playgrounds and sitting areas; or a 1/2-mile or less for larger parks that serve a wider region, typically over 8 acres or situated on the waterfront. Certain properties in NYC Parks' portfolio, such as cemeteries, community gardens, or sites with no recreational equipment were not included in this analysis. Similarly, some parks and open-space amenities not under the jurisdiction of NYC Parks were included in this analysis, as they provide recreational value.

This dataset includes two ESRI shapefiles of access points, one for sites that get a 1/4-mile buffer and one for sites that get a 1/2-mile buffer. It also includes an ESRI shapefile of the combined polygon that is the output of this analysis. This polygon represents the total area within walking distance of a park. To generate the number of New Yorkers within that distance, the polygon is compared with data from the U.S. Census.

This information is only current as of the publication date. For more information about this analysis and the Walk to a Park Initiative, visit: https://www.nycgovparks.org/planning-and-building/planning/walk-to-a-park

This dataset shows hurricane evacuation centers. Persons requiring shelter during a hurricane are processed at a
hurricane evacuation center and then transported to a hurricane shelter. In the event of a hurricane, the status of these hurricane evacuation centers should be confirmed at www.nyc.gov or by calling 311.

Based on the results of the Citywide Mobility Survey, NYC DOT developed a holistic, data-driven framework to categorize streets based on pedestrian needs. The plan aims to improve pedestrian comfort and convenience as well as increase walking citywide. NYC DOT created five broad street categories to determine the pedestrian needs on the city’s sidewalks. For more information, please visit NYC DOT website: https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pedestrians/pedestrian-mobility.shtml

Geographic boundaries of NYPD sectors.

This data details the location of the Taxi and For Hire Vehicle(FHV) stands and the number of spaces provided. Taxi and FHV relief stands allow drivers to park their vehicles for up to one hour. This gives drivers the opportunity to leave their vehicles and take care of personal needs.

TNOTE: Taxi and FHV relief stands should not be confused with taxi stands. Taxi stands allow drivers to wait in their cars to pick up passengers.

This dataset identifies property managed partially or solely by NYC Parks. This data has been produced 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.

Records are added as more land is designated under NYC Parks’ jurisdiction. Each record represents an acquisition.

Locations and types of refuse litter baskets tracked by DSNY

Data is collected by DSNY in order to track basket locations.
Data is collected through periodic surveys by field personnel. DSNY digitizes the locations of litter baskets using GIS software.
Each record represents the approximate location, ownership, and physical type of a single refuse litter basket.
The data can be used as an approximate assessment of the locations of litter baskets tracked by the Department of Sanitation in NYC.
"Litter basket locations are subject to frequent change, for reasons that include but are not limited to: litter basket damage, nearby construction, graffiti, or regular illegal use of basket for household or commercial waste. There is often a lag time between a change in basket type or location and the reflection of that change in this dataset.

This dataset includes information of BID-owned and Privately-owned litter baskets. Non-profit and private entities wishing to place a litter basket on a public street must receive permission from the Department of Sanitation. Location data for these baskets may be less accurate than for baskets that are owned by DSNY.

This dataset does not track public litter baskets placed by other City, State, or Federal agencies, notably including the NYC Department of Parks. Recycling baskets are also not tracked in this dataset."

NYC DOT's Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) are devices affixed to pedestrian signal poles to assist blind or low vision pedestrians in crossing the street. APS are wired to a pedestrian signal and send audible and vibrotactile indications when pedestrians push a botton installed at a crosswalk.

DOT, in coordination with our Coordinated Street Furniture vendor, JCDecaux, has installed bicycle parking shelters around the City. Each shelter contains stainless steel bike racks for eight bikes. The design closely resembles the award-winning Bus Shelter, using the same high-quality materials. Panels on the shelters display the annual NYC Cycling Map and other bicycle promotional materials.
