Data Dictionary

Column Type Label Description
closure_id text Street closure ID

This is a unique identifier for each street closure. Each street closure is associated with a permit. closure_id is formed by joining permit_id and sequence_num, separated by a dash.

permit_id text Permit ID

This is a unique identifier for each permit. Permits may appear in the table multiple times since this table breaks permits down into the associated street closures.

permit_type text Permit type

The nature of the permit. These values are just a few words and are selected from a list of options.

work_description text Work description

Unstructured text field with a detailed description of the work.

work_type text Work type

A basic description of the work necessitating the permit. These values are just a few words and are selected from a list of options.

applicant_name text Applicant

The individual applying for the permit. This may be someone who is independent of an organization or a representative of the organization. In some cases, the organization itself is listed here as well. (This field contains several representations of who applied for the permit. Care should be taken when interpreting this information.)

contractor_name text Contractor

The business/entity performing the work on the permits (e.g., "People's Gas" or "John Doe's Construction").

special_instructions text Special instructions

Unstructured text field with unique information about the work to be performed. This field often has empty values.

weekday_hours text Weekday hours

Weekday hours that a street closure will be in effect.

weekend_hours text Weekend hours

Weekend hours that a street closure will be in effect. (Weekend and weekday operations often take place at different hours of the day.)

from_date date From date

Start date of the street closure.

to_date date To date

End date of the street closure.

active bool Is active

A boolean indicating whether the street closure is currently active (as of the last data update).

primary_street text Primary street

The street that is closed.

from_street text From street

The first of two streets that serve as the terminus of the street closure. from_street and to_street are almost always cross streets relative to primary_street

to_street text To street

The other street that serve as the terminus of the street closure.

full_closure bool Full closure

Details if the full street is closed or if some traffic is allowed in a subset of travel lanes.

travel_lane bool Is travel lane

Details if the street closure impacts a travel lane.

parking_lane bool Is parking lane

Details if the street closure impacts a parking lane. Both parking and travel lanes may be impacted by street closures.

metered_parking bool Is metered parking

Details if the closure impacts parking associated with meters.

sidewalk bool Is sidewalk

Details if the closure impacts parking associated with sidewalks.

segment_num int4 Segment number

Indicator of which street segment a record represents WITHIN ALL street segments contained in a permit. See dataset description for more information.

total_segments int4 Total segments

The total number of segments that are contained within a street closure permit. Used in conjuction with segment_num, as an example, one can surmise that a given record is (for example) "segment number 3 out of 7" for a given permit. This field can be used in isolation to determine how many times a street closure is divided into component segments.

roadway_id text Roadway ID

A GIS line segment representing a section of roadway. This value is useful for mapping street closures.

geometry text Geometry

Lat/Long for vertices of a roadway line segment. These values represent a single segment of roadway (see general notes). The first and last coordinates are the endpoints of the segment. If there are additional coordinate pairs, which is usually the case, they represent vertices where two lines meet. This can be interpreted as a change in the trajectory of the roadway segment.

wkt text Geometry in Well-Known Text

This is a different standardized format for the geometry field (representing the line section of roadway labelled by the cartegraph_id field).
