Project: Open Data for ROW Permitting

[TracyLinder]

In alignment with our value to default to open, this project aims to publish Right-of-Way permitting data to the City’s Open Data portal. This project also includes identifying a business intelligence tool for permitting managers to ingest, analyze, and report on permitting data.

Background

This project began with a finding from the City Auditor related to traffic control inspections; we were asked to implement better methods for prioritizing and organizing the inspections being performed. These new methods depend heavily on permitting data which isn’t easily accessible in it’s current database. Permitting and inspection managers also need more access to this data, and to have the ability to perform independent queries and produce their own custom reports.

Scope & Deliverables

The project scope includes identifying and publishing Right-of-Way permitting data on the City’s Open Data Portal. Also in scope is identifying and possibly implementing a business intelligence tool for permitting managers to work with and report on this data.
