New York City Street and Highway Capital Reconstruction Projects

Spatial data represents major street reconstruction projects, including roadbed, sidewalk, and utility work. Projects are managed by city agencies like the LeadAgency and Managing Agency, with details on cost, status, and scope. The dataset is maintained by data.cityofnewyork.us and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze ProjectCost distribution by BoroughName and ProjectTypeCode to identify capital spending patterns.
• Predict ConstructionFY or ConstructionEndDate based on DesignFY, ProjectStatus, and LeadAgency using time-series models.
• Map project locations using the_geom to visualize spatial density of construction activity relative to OnStreetName.
• Classify ProjectStatus (e.g., planning, active, completed) from features like DesignStartDate, CurrentFunding, and OversallScope.
• Assess safety investments by correlating SafetyScope data with ProjectJustification and OnStreetName.

Strengths

• Includes detailed project attributes such as ProjectCost, ConstructionFY, and multiple scope columns (SafetyScope, OtherScope, OversallScope).
• Contains geospatial data via the_geom column for mapping and spatial analysis.
• Tracks project lifecycle stages through DesignStartDate, ConstructionEndDate, and ProjectStatus.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and sample size limit statistical reliability.
• Geographic scope is limited to New York City, as indicated by BoroughName, reducing generalizability.
• Temporal coverage and update frequency beyond the last update date are unspecified.
