Protected Street Blocks in New York City Boroughs

New York City's five boroughs contain a list of streets designated as protected. The dataset includes geometry and protection dates for these blocks, provided by the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of protected streets using the_geom and GeoBoroughCode.
• Track the implementation timeline of street protections using DateProtectedFrom and DateProtectedTo columns.
• Identify specific protected street segments by name using OnstreetName, FromStreet, and ToStreetName.
• Calculate total length of protected infrastructure using the Shape.STLength() field.

Strengths

• Geospatial data (the_geom) enables mapping and spatial analysis.
• Includes temporal fields (DateProtectedFrom, DateProtectedTo) for tracking changes.

Limitations

• Data accuracy is not guaranteed by the provider, as stated in the description.
• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of coverage.
