Norfolk Street Sweeping Schedule With Address Coordinates

Approximately 6,682 tons of debris are collected annually by Norfolk's street sweeping program. The City of Norfolk maintains this schedule dataset, updated at the start of each calendar year, showing planned sweeping dates for addresses. It reflects a temporary shift to a quarterly rotation for most areas due to equipment and staffing challenges.

Use Cases

• Predict 'Sweeping Frequency' for an 'Address' based on its 'Signed Area' status using classification models.
• Analyze spatial patterns of service coverage by clustering 'Longitude' and 'Latitude' coordinates.
• Forecast future 'Sweeping Date' sequences for specific neighborhoods using time-series analysis on the schedule data.
• Assess the impact of the quarterly rotation policy by comparing 'Sweeping Day Description' entries before and after its implementation.

Strengths

• Includes precise geospatial coordinates ('Longitude', 'Latitude') for each address record.
• Provides context on operational status with specific 'Sweeping Frequency' and 'Signed Area' columns.
• Dataset was updated on January 6, 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• The total number of rows (addresses) and geographic scope are unknown, limiting assessment of coverage.
• Schedule is described as temporarily revised due to delays, which may reduce the reliability of future date predictions.
• No sample data is available to verify data formats or the presence of null values.
