Updated my Baltimore public art inventory map + data for the first time in a while https://publicartbaltimore.github.io/inventory
Coverage for the last two years is pretty spotty so let me know if you have any suggested additions!

Continuing occasional work on my {legistarapi} #RStats package and I just added an example to the README showing how to list ordinances for the Baltimore City Council https://elipousson.github.io/legistarapi/index.html
I've also added pagination to return the full results for any query and enabled the filter and other OData parameters. The interface is still unstable but it is starting to turn into something useful!

It isn't the most elegant thing in the world but I finished migrating (almost) all my code for developing the city's CIP Report into a reproducible {targets} pipeline.
Still plenty to do but I feel like I'm nearing the end of a 5-month marathon.

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about identifiers lately. The ROW permit number is a new one to add to my list and I don’t think they’re publicly available (yet).

I spent the last 2.5 months working on this report for the Baltimore City Capital Improvement Program https://planning.baltimorecity.gov/sites/default/files/2024-01-12_FY2530_CIP-Request-Report.pdf
Excepting the cover page, the entire document is created by a #QuartoPub + #RStats pipeline that turns two Excel files with messy project and financial request data into the clearest and best-looking 500+ page report I could create. Fully reproducible repository should be coming next week.

I made some major changes to the Baltimore City entity reference I shared on here a couple months back.
The Airtable base now lists "assignments" w/ names, agencies, and start/end date for leadership roles https://airtable.com/app1TxhwkepwEygN7/shrsG7ZZ947kG1eDA/tblFmL54X4YOCw1QV/viw5qmxXfPRgVR6QM?blocks=hide
It has a bunch of missing names + dates but it is a good start on a reference that should exist but doesn't. #Baltimore #bmorehistoric #CivicData #OpenBaltimore

These aren't anything official and I'm not sure when or if I'll keep working on them but I'm still open to suggestions or feedback if you all have any.
If it is public open data, I'd rather just get it out there than wait for it to be perfect! #WorkInProgress #OpenBaltimore #OpenData

The next is a collection of all of the community plans, urban renewal plans, and park plans posted to the Department of Planning website with new metadata on consultants, year adopted, etc. https://airtable.com/shrIb0577rFcNI6vj #OpenBaltimore #BaltimorePlanning #Baltimore #OpenData

I've started working in Airtable on a couple open data "hobby" projects last month that I think may be developing into something interesting or useful.
The first is a list of city departments, commissions, and quasi-public entities https://airtable.com/shrsG7ZZ947kG1eDA #Baltimore #OpenBaltimore #OpenData
