Seattle Temporary No Parking Reservations with Past, Current, and Future Status

A dataset of temporary no-parking reservations in Seattle, maintained by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT). The data includes records for past (15 days), current, and future (30 days) reservations, with a nightly refresh cycle. It is derived from a complex geospatial feature class (V_TEMP_NOPARK_RESERVATIONS) with specific definition queries applied to filter temporal status.

Use Cases

• Modeling parking availability disruptions based on scheduled reservation dates.
• Analyzing patterns in temporary parking reservations for urban event planning.
• Forecasting future parking restrictions based on planned start and end times.
• Auditing past parking reservation compliance by comparing scheduled versus actual times.

Strengths

• Includes a defined temporal range covering past 15 days and future 30 days.
• Maintained by an authoritative city department (Seattle Department of Transportation).
• Has a nightly refresh cycle, suggesting regular updates.
• Based on a specific geospatial feature class (V_TEMP_NOPARK_RESERVATIONS).

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.
