SUMMARY:

The locations of public art in Portland, Oregon, as avail on the Civic Apps are overlayed with a map as an aid to locating artworks in the City.

DATA

Note that the raw data are not entirely clean, so I had to edit and clean the data to complete the mapping, including looking up the GPS locations of some addresses. The cleaned data are stored on and read directly from my github repo.

## Loading required package: bitops
        file.path <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ww44ss/public_art/master/"
        data.file <- "public_art_edited.csv"
        data.zip <- "public_art.zip"
        missing.types <- c("NA", "")

Now we can get the data quickly

A more detailed zoom of downtown. Note that points are plotted with an alpha of 0.5 to show where multiple artwork are located.

In the future I’ll make this interactive.
