In soukhova/HamONdest-package: Potential destinations in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada: for transportation planning

HamONdest

HamONdest is a data-package which contains a growing set of potential destinations and their estimated ‘supplies’ in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It currently contains schools, municipally-owned land, health care and health and residential care facilities.

The aim of this data-package is to facilitate the calculation of accessibility and mobility measures in the transportation planning context. The majority of data is sourced from Hamilton’s Open Data Portal and is augmented with additional open data from higher levels of government (provincial and federal), predicted values, and/or data from OpenStreetMap.

The HamONdest package is still a work in progress and is available here and the vignettes can be viewed here

          size = 0.5,
          alpha = 0.5,
          color  = "black",
          fill = "white")+
  geom_sf(data = Care_Facilities,
          aes(col = Type),
          shape = 1) 
#> old-style crs object detected; please recreate object with a recent sf::st_crs()

          fill = "white")+
  geom_sf(data = Care_Facilities %>% filter(Type == "Hospital"),
          color = 2,
          shape = 1)
