Welcome to BetaNYC's Tools for NY City Council and Community Boards tools Wiki!

These pages are for BetaNYC's Beyond Transparency campaign to build tools for City Council, their staff, and Community Boards. Over the course of eight weeks, BetaNYC members are challenged to take NYC's Open Data and make tools. The culmination of this eight week campaign will be Code Across NYC, 22/23 Feb. This will be a two day hackathon.

Currently, BetaNYC is focusing on the following realms of data: Crime and Public Safety data, Schools and Transportation, Land Use, and NYC 311.

The following wiki pages contain an overview, highlighted datasets, tools explored, and output.
