    When you click on Data Preview it looks like the data is not from the crime dataset

    Would you be interested in data points for any other provinces as well?

    Hi Anthony, that's a really nice map. Did you hear about the opendata hackathon - or interested in coming out to open data hacking events in Vancouver?

    Hi David, I would love to participate - could you post a link here or on twitter (@anthonynsmith) to the next event in January? (I live in Vancouver, so if its within cycling distance or accessible by transit even better) Thanks for the encouragement! Anthony.

    Hey! Are you sure that these are convictions and not charges? Just curious :)

    It's convictions (Criminal Code impaired only, not HTA impaired).

    Interesting. It would be neat to see the difference between criminal code impaired convictions and charges. The data you posted show high conviction rates. I could only imagine that a substantially larger number of people get charged as impaired under the criminal code as not all actually wind up convicted.

    Great post! Just wondering, what does the FSA column stand for?

    FSA = forward sortation area = first three characters of a postal code, like L0R.

    Hi David

    Does the data provided by ICBC include the type of crashi.e. vehicle driver making right turn hitting cyclist. Would be helpful
    when discussing safety concerns with city transportaion engineers.

    Hi John - have just sent an email to ICBC asking them about this. Will let you know what response I get, will also ask them who I can put you in touch with regarding these types of requests.

    cheers,

    Does ICBC have similar data for auto/auto and auto/ped collisions? It's fine if auto/auto includes single-vehicle collisions -- drunk drivers smashing into trees or dozing drivers heading off cliffs

    Hi Eric,

    ICBC will have similar data for the other types of data you mentioned. They don't have an open data portal (sadly) but you can write them and request the data (that's what I did). I'm sure you can ask for data prior to 2006 as well - I just asked for 5 years worth of data.

    I've got a pretty good in there so can ask for more, or can try to connect with the right people.
