Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) provides a geospatial data model for street use permits. The model connects permit points to impacted street line segments, allowing users to see all impacts for a permit and drill down to specific details. The dataset is updated nightly and is constructed for use in the Right of Way Map.
Use Cases
- Visualizing permit locations and their associated street impacts based on the described feature class relationships.
- Analyzing the spatial distribution of street use permits based on the geospatial permit points.
- Drilling down to specific use impact details for a given permit based on the described hierarchical data model.
- Integrating permit impact data into a Right of Way Map application as described in the service construction note.
Strengths
- Data model explicitly defines relationships between permit points and impacted street segments.
- Dataset is set to a nightly refresh schedule, suggesting regular updates.
- Service is constructed for a specific application (Right of Way Map), indicating practical utility.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified despite the nightly refresh schedule.
