Shawinigan Public Parking Lot Polygons with Capacity Attributes

Ville de Shawinigan provides a polygonal layer of public parking lots on its territory. The dataset includes attributes such as name, location, and 24-hour and 2-hour seat counts. It is available in multiple formats including SHP, GEOJSON, and CSV.

Use Cases

• Map parking lot polygons using shape attributes to analyze spatial distribution and area (st_area).
• Analyze parking capacity by comparing nb_place_24_hrs and nb_place_2_hrs counts across different locations.
• Identify parking facilities with specific amenities like electric car reserves (reserve_electrique) or terminals (terminal_electric).
• Filter parking lots by regulation type or accessibility features such as disabled status for urban planning.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple interoperable formats: SHP, GEOJSON, CSV, and HTML.
• Includes specific capacity metrics for 24-hour and 2-hour parking (nb_place_24_hrs, nb_place_2_hrs).
• Managed and published by the municipal government of Shawinigan.

Limitations

• Unknown total number of parking lot records (rows) and specific column count.
• Attribute descriptions were machine-translated, which may introduce terminology inconsistencies.
• Lacks explicit temporal coverage details for the data's validity period.
