Welcome to NYC School of Data — a community conference that demystifies the policies and practices around civic data, technology, and service design. This year’s conference kicks off NYC’s annual Open Data Week & features OVER 30 sessions organized by NYC’s civic technology, data, and design community! Our conversations & workshops will feed your mind and empower you to improve your neighborhood. Follow the conversation #nycSOdata on twitter and tune into our live stream (provided by the Internet Society of New York).
In this session, we will introduce the City's bike network dataset and provide some examples of how the data are used within NYC DOT. Then, we would like to open up a conversation to discuss our strategies for translating this data into Open Street Maps.
Please note: the topic of conversation is only data relating to the network of bicycle facilities (bike lanes, bike paths, greenways, etc.) in NYC. Other datasets related to cycling, such as bike racks, CitiBike stations, or ridership data will not be covered in this session.
