Nyc 311 & community inquiry data and us census data
This page is broken down into four areas.
For the month of Jan and Feb, BetaNYC is doubling down its advocacy investment in open data and focusing on building tools for City Council Members, their staff, and Community Boards. For eight weeks, we are looking at four data realms and building apps on top of that data: Crime and Public Safety, Schools and Transportation, Land Use, and NYC 311 data. These nights will feed into a two day hackathon (22/23 Feb), Code Across NYC.
On our first night, we explored what tools might be helpful for City Council Members, their staff, and Community Boards. You can find more of these ideas on BetaNYC's Project Idea board or read the notes from our first night:
"I can do better advocacy, if I had data that is easier to understand and to look at.”
“I want our meetings to be streamed, and edit it down a 3 hour meeting to 10-min greatest hits. If we had easier to understand 311 data, we could have more productive CB meetings.”
"I could set better Community Board agenda topics, if I had better 311 information” - Sara, Community Board Manager, Bklyn CB6
