Bicycle Parking Locations Across New York City Boroughs

Bicycle rack locations across all five boroughs of New York City are provided in this dataset. It includes attributes such as rack type, installation date, and precise geographic coordinates. The data is published by the City of New York and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of RackType across Community Districts (BoroCD) to identify infrastructure gaps.
• Model bicycle parking demand by correlating rack locations (Latitude, Longitude) with population density from other datasets using NTAName.
• Assess temporal trends in infrastructure installation by analyzing the Date_Inst field.
• Plan new rack placements by examining existing density on specific street segments using OnStreet, FromStreet, and ToStreet columns.

Strengths

• Geographic coverage includes all five boroughs (Borough, BoroName).
• Contains multiple administrative boundary identifiers (CounDist, AssemDist, Police Precincts) for cross-analysis.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of completeness.
