The owner's snow plow on the live map (2026-08-25), as the City actually publishes it: per-segment clearing status during a declared event is the honest 'are the plows out on my street'. This is the layer behind the City's own map at gis.edmonton.ca/SnowAndIceControl; the Socrata twin (data.edmonton.ca 8pdx-hfxi) is a bulk snapshot of the same rows and its description names this endpoint as the source.

CORRECTED 2026-10-12 (DECISIONS #42): this record's reason said 'no plow GPS exists'. The City does publish one — 'Snow Plow Live Locations - Public', recorded as edmonton_snow_plow_live_locations_geotab — but it states no licence, so it is not read until the City is asked. LICENCE LINKED 2026-10-12 (owner: a licence link wherever possible): its dataset on data.edmonton.ca states its licence as 'See Terms of Use' (licenseId SEE_TERMS_OF_USE, read 2026-10-12 at /api/views/<id>.json), and the portal's Terms of Use link opens the Open Government Licence – City of Edmonton v1.0 (story msh8-if28). ENABLED 2026-10-11: read from the edge only (functions/mapfeed.js), under the City's open licence; it had been disabled because the pipeline fetches nothing, which left a source the map reads with no record that says it may. The map's credit names Parks and Roads Services and links the licence, as the licence asks. | EDGE-ONLY consumer — enabled stays false: /mapfeed (functions/mapfeed.js shapeSnowSegments) queries it with WHERE segment_status IS NOT NULL AND NOT IN ('NA'), so the off-season answer is zero rows, absent-not-wrong until the first event. The Socrata twin's own note: the map only updates when a snow event is DECLARED — minor snowfall may be cleared with nothing reflected here, so an empty layer in January is not proof no plow ran. gis.edmonton.ca 303-redirects to an arcgishosting_cfcdn path (follow it; the _cfcdn path itself looks ephemeral) and serves no robots.txt (404 = no restrictions declared). esri dates are MILLISECONDS. maxRecordCount 1000; the consumer asks for 500 and caps there.
