Explore by borough

Pick a borough, then a neighborhood: every corner is four clicks from here.

Corners New Yorkers know

A dozen to start with; the neighborhood beside each is the City's own.

What every page tells you

The same sections on every corner, each written from that corner's own record; what the record does not hold is named near the end of the page.

The map

Every page opens on a map with the corner and everything the page names pinned in place, and the neighboring corners a tap away.

Getting there

The nearest subway entrance and bus stop by a real walk along the streets, with their lines and routes, the nearest bike-share station, the bike lanes, and by car the nearest highway entrance, gas station and charging site.

Safety record

Crashes the police recorded at the corner in the City's five-year window against the borough's median, who was hurt, and the signal and crossing changes the City has made there, with their dates.

Camera tickets

Where a corner has them, the red-light, school-zone speed and bus-lane camera tickets recorded there, for the last whole year and the year so far.

About this corner

Its streets, lanes and speed limits, the community board, precinct and council district, the corner's other names, the homes within 820 feet and the trees NYC Parks records around it.

Parking

The rules posted on each block and the meters, in DOT's own words, block by block and side by side.

Landmarks

Every designated landmark and historic district within reach, and the monuments and public art the City lists nearby.

Within a walk

Schools, parks, libraries, hospitals and more within five minutes on foot, each kind counted and the nearest of each named.

Sources and dates

Every page ends with the publishers it drew on and the days its data was retrieved, and Data and sources lists every dataset, so a figure can always be traced to its record.

How it's built

Fetch the City's records

Each build downloads the datasets the City publishes, from the street network and crashes to subway entrances, bus stops, parking signs, landmarks, facilities, tax lots and trees, and keeps the date of each.

Measure from the corner

Distances are walks along the street network; counts are within a stated radius; a corner on a boundary says so rather than picking a side.

Write each page from its own data

Every sentence is generated from that corner's own record and every figure names its source; where the record is silent the page says so.

Every corner page names its sources and when they were retrieved. The full methodology · Every dataset
