This dataset contains the Allegheny County boundary.

This data shows the attendance boundaries used to assign students to feeder pattern schools based on their place of residence. These boundaries were adopted for the 2012-13 school year by the Pittsburgh Public Schools. The boundaries were drawn to align with major roads, neighborhood boundaries, and natural features. Efforts were also made to enable all students within an elementary school to move to the same middle school, and allow all students in a middle school to transition to the same high school.

This dataset contains boundaries of individual parcels in Allegheny County, including the county block and lot number. As this is a very large dataset, you may wish to use our property information extractor (http://tools.wprdc.org/parcels-n-at/) to download filtered versions of this parcel dataset.

Editor Tracking (created_date, created_user, last_edited_date, last_edited_user)

Automatically recorded information indicating the creation date and user and the last modified date and user.

From/To Street Name (fromstreet, tostreet)

Where the street segment ends or begins. The starting point of the line segment is the From Street and the end point of the line segment is the To Street. The names of the cross streets are used where applicable. If the segment does not begin or end at a cross street, CITY LIMIT and DEAD END can both be used.

Functional Class (domi_class)

A general classification system used by the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure to stratify roads by significance.

• • Principal Arterial - Roadways with high traffic volumes such as interstate highways, freeways, and expressways; frequently the route of choice for intercity buses and trucks.
• • Minor Arterial – Roadways that serve trips of moderate length and smaller geographic areas than principal arterials.
• • Collector – Roadways that “collect” traffic from Local Roads and connect traffic to Arterial roadways. Typically, shorter than Arterial Routes but longer than Local Roads. Collectors provide traffic circulation within residential neighborhoods as well as commercial, industrial, or civic districts.
• • Local – Roadways that provide direct access to adjacent land, not intended for use in long distance travel. Locals roads provide access to higher systems, and typically don’t carry through traffic movement.
• • Alley - Streets intended to provide access to the rear or side of lots or buildings in urban areas and not intended for the purpose of vehicular through traffic.
• • Park Road – Roadways that provide access into and through parks.
• • Private Road – Privately owned and maintained roads. Private roads are often open to the public in spaces such as shopping malls, airports, and sports arenas. Public access can be restricted to private gated properties.
