  Hi Curt, Thanks for your quick reply! I am looking for Social media feeds. I think Lauren mentioned that she may have a way to dump the data in a file. Also, I do not mind using their APIs and need help on identifying proper # hashtags or @ mentions that you use.

  Hi, I am looking for data set from a project that'll allow me to do financial assessment, specially risk assessment by determining earned value and earned schedule. Has to be large number of data for better assessment.

  I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for. Here are the financial data that we post...

  Expenditures: https://data.cityofboston.gov/checkbook/2015
  Budget: http://budget.data.cityofboston.gov/
  Payroll: https://data.cityofboston.gov/Finance/Employee-Earnings-Report-2014/4swk-wcg8

  Hope this helps.

  Thank you for you reply and the data set. I am looking for data set from a project that shows the initial budget (cost), actual cost, schedule and the progress in terms of the budget. That'll allow me to do future predictions, on cost and schedule, and risk assessment by determining earned value and earned schedule.

  Best,

  Farhana

  Hi Curt! We are still trying to hone our angle in the area of transportation access/transit volatility/transportation deserts. We were wondering if there were any data available for T RIDE requests (request times and locations, or even just some summary stats like # of rides originating per area)?

  We would suggest that you contact the T RIDE to see if they make that information public. You may want to start with their developer portal. http://realtime.mbta.com/portal

  Farhana,

  Sorry for the delay but I was tracking down some numbers for you.

  The project started in 2010. Actual expenditures was $10,200,823 through 6/30/13. Budgeted amount for FY 14 is $4,200,00. Budgeted amount for FY15 is $4,000,000. The project is approximately 2/3 done. The budget period is through FY 2019 (city fiscal year goes from 7/1 - 6/30) but it will not likely take that long. A total budget is $23,100,000.

  You can find all this information at http://www.cityofboston.gov/images_documents/12%20Steets%2C%20Transportation%20%26%20Sanitation%20Cabinet_tcm3-44097.pdf

  The schedule for installed lights is on the released data set. Lastly, there are approximately 64,000 street lights in Boston.

  I look forward to seeing your project.
