Snow Removal Requests - 30,000-record Geospatial Sample
A free, ready-to-use sample of 30,000 geolocated snow removal service requests (calendar year 2025), published by Outerview.
Snow and ice removal requests reported through municipal 311 systems, with coordinates and the original city-specific fields preserved.
This is a 30,000-record sample of a much larger collection (about 881,000 source records). Need the full dataset, other places or years, or live search? See the Outerview atlas.

float64 | Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS 84). |
description |
string | Short plain-language summary of the record (category, type and status) taken from the source's metadescription field. |
attribution |
string | Original data provider and dataset the record comes from. Cite this when you reuse the record. |
properties |
string | JSON-encoded object with the original source fields for the record (keys vary by record). |
The description column is a short plain-language summary of each record (category, type and status), ready to use for search, labelling or text models.

Methodology
Records are exported directly from the Outerview geographic index, ordered by identifier and capped at 30,000 rows. Coordinates are WGS 84. Source fields are preserved in properties without reinterpretation. Inclusion means a record appeared in the contributing public dataset; it was not independently verified.
Sources and attribution
Every record names its original provider in the attribution column. Contributing sources:
- Edmonton Open Data - 311 Requests (Edmonton, AB)
- Chicago, IL - 311 Service Requests
Prepared and distributed by Outerview.
License
Records come from public municipal open-data portals whose terms vary by city. Credit the provider named in each record's attribution column and Outerview when you reuse this data.
