Seattle Temporary No Parking Reservations with Current and Historical Status

Seattle Department of Transportation maintains the Temporary No Parking Reservations layer. The dataset includes current and historical reservation statuses, defined by complex queries on start and end times, and is refreshed nightly. The feature class is V_TEMP_NOPARK_RESERVATIONS.

Use Cases

• Identify active temporary no-parking zones based on ACTUAL_START_TIME and ACTUAL_END_TIME fields.
• Analyze patterns in planned versus actual parking reservation durations based on START_DATE_TIME and END_DATE_TIME.
• Model future parking availability based on reservations with dates up to 30 days ahead.
• Audit past parking reservation compliance by querying records from the previous 15 days.

Strengths

• Maintained by the Seattle Department of Transportation, an authoritative source.
• Refresh cycle is nightly, suggesting relatively current data.
• Includes both current and historical (past 15 days, future 30 days) reservation views.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
