Hi Claire, In our work for NYC we've become familiar with their Open Data platform https://data.cityofnewyork.us/data which offers access to over 1,100 data sets and includes all of their geospatial data. There was a great article published on Monday about how geocoded parking ticket data revealed that 2 hydrants in the City were generating over $30,000/year in ticket revenue. http://iquantny.tumblr.com/post/87573867759/success-how-nyc-open-data-and-reddit-saved-new-yorkers -- *Kate Hickey, PMP, GISP* *Director of Local Government Services* 617-447-2472 Direct | 617-447-2400 Main Applied Geographics, Inc. 24 School Street, Suite 500 Boston, MA 02108 www.AppGeo.com <http://www.appgeo.com/> On Wed, Jun 4, 2014 at 2:29 PM, Amero, Jeff <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > We have just recently put a download site on our new Webpage.
