Planned Footpath Closures in Australian Capital Territory

A real-time feed of planned footpath closures in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), managed by TCCS. It provides closure details including project title, type, reason, and Unix timestamps for start and end times. The data is updated via a live stream from Temporary Traffic Management plan submissions.

Use Cases

• Analyze closure frequency and duration by Type (e.g., road works, utilities) using Closure start time and Closure end time.
• Map closure locations for urban planning by extracting coordinates from the Geometry (X,Y) field.
• Identify common Reasons for footpath closure to prioritize public notifications and resource allocation.
• Filter closures for specific Project title or Type to support real-time pedestrian routing applications.

Strengths

• Provides real-time data via a live stream, updated upon plan submission.
• Includes geographic Geometry (X,Y) data for spatial analysis and mapping.
• Categorizes closures by 12 distinct Type options, including light rail and emergency works.

Limitations

• Unknown total record count and historical archive depth limit longitudinal trend analysis.
• Relies on manual submission of TTM plans, which may introduce reporting delays or omissions.
• Data coverage is restricted to the Australian Capital Territory, limiting broader applicability.
