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.

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.

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.

Atomic polygons serve as a set of basic building blocks for generating the polygons of many of the district types represented in the CSCL database. Feature classes such as election district, school district, census block, FDNY administrative company, and community district can be dissolved by combining the appropriate fields in atomic polygons.

Citywide street tree data from the 2005 Street Tree Census, conducted partly by volunteers organized by NYC Parks & Recreation. Trees were inventoried by address, and were collected from 2005-2006. Data collected includes tree species, diameter, condition.

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.

Larger NYC parks (generally >20 acres) are subdivided into smaller sections that make inspecting these parks feasible and efficient.  These sections are called "zones."   The size and boundaries usually conform to one or more of the following criteria:  Zones should be inspectable in 1-2 hours; zone boundaries should follow the park’s features (paths, tree lines, etc) whenever possible; and/or conform to pre-existing boundaries used to divide the park for maintenance; and/or define a cohesive area within the park (ballfields, wooded areas, etc).  Besides zones, this layer contains a handful of Sitting Areas that are part of larger parks but could not be defined as zones due to their smaller size.

Shapefile of zoning section map index, grid to determine which zoning section map relates to specific areas of NYC.
A sectional index grid to determine which Zoning Map refers to specific areas of New York City. Zoning maps show the boundaries of zoning districts throughout the city. The maps are regularly updated after the City Planning Commission and the City Council have approved proposed zoning changes. The set of 126 maps, which are part of the Zoning Resolution, are displayed in 35 sections. Each section is identified by a number from 1 to 35. Each map covers an area of approximately 8,000 feet (north/south) by 12,500 feet (east/west).
