Moratoriums established by the Chicago Department of Transportation protect reconstructed or repaved roadways. The dataset lists three types: Street Construction (10-year moratorium), Street Resurfacing (5-year moratorium), and Median or Median Landscaping. It is provided by the City of Chicago and was last updated on March 22, 2026.
Use Cases
- Plan excavation projects based on known moratorium locations and durations.
- Calculate permit fees based on doubled fees during active moratorium periods.
- Review conflicts with median landscaping projects requiring special instructions from engineering staff.
- Schedule construction work to avoid areas with active Street Resurfacing or Street Construction moratoriums.
Strengths
- Defines three specific moratorium types with clear durations: 10 years for Street Construction and 5 years for Street Resurfacing.
- Specifies concrete financial impacts: permit fees are doubled during active moratorium periods.
- Provides a direct link to official city documentation for further context.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified as the last update date is March 22, 2026.
