DSNY - PlowNYC Data
A table containing physical ID (a unique street segment identifier) and the date/time with which it was last associated with a GPS signal emitted by a NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) snow clearing vehicle. The PlowNYC website (https://plownyc.cityofnewyork.us/plownyc/) allows you to track the progress of DSNY snow removal vehicles.

The publisher's promise
How the agency that publishes this data says it keeps the data current.
NewNo automatic refresh
- Automatic refresh
No scheduled refresh runs for this dataset, and a refresh you ask for on this page is refused.
- This dataset needs a copy method that the automatic queue does not run, such as a bulk export of a very large table. This fence refuses a refresh you ask for on this page.
- This dataset is large enough that an operator must review it before the automatic queue copies it, and that review has not happened yet. This fence does not stop a refresh you ask for on this page.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
The publisher has not provided a data dictionary.
0 of 3 columns carry a concept; 3 carry a description from the publisher. Read the concept column before you join. A column with no concept carries no claim from us, and a name that looks like a key is not one.
