Director of SomerStat responding to #204874 re: publishing de-identified parking permit data.

Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

I hereby convey a response to 204874: That the Director of Traffic and Parking publish de-identified parking permit data in the city's open data portal so as to permit community analysis and discussion of issues related to the supply and demand of parking.

 

SomerStat publishes annual parking permit data on the City's open data portal. Currently, calendar years 2017 and 2018 are online. Each row of data represents a unique parking permit issued. Data attributes include: type of permit (e.g. residential, guest, artist, etc.), address of permit holder, and dates of issue, effectiveness, and expiry.

 

Data are available to view and download here: <https://data.somervillema.gov/City-Services/City-of-Somerville-Parking-Permits/xavb-4s9w>

 

The dataset was last updated in March 2019. My staff will upload the 2019 permits in March 2020.

 

Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.

 

Kristen Stelljes

SomerStat Director
