Dataset

With the Healthy Bikes data in the foreground, the supporting data was in many ways more important to set the context for the Bike network.

1. The most important one was the geographical bikepgh data which set the ground for the type and lengths of bike lanes in Pittsburgh. The kind of lanes available are bike lanes, protected bike lanes, trails, bike routes, shared lane markings, cautionary bike routes, and bridge data. Part of the data cleaning process was to eliminate the point data of the bridges.

2. The second important data set was that of Port Authority Transit Routes. The reason for picking this set was because the choosing and investing of routes for public transport is by taking into account the use and need of public transport keeping in mind peak hours. These routes primarily serve professionals, students and essentially those who, for various reasons, do not use the car to commute.
