Analytical Report: Traffic Collisions by Location 2017-2024 (excluding 2023)

An assessment of the City of Ottawa's open dataset of 94,406 reported traffic collisions from 2017 to 2024, excluding 2023. The data suits analysis of where and how collisions happen and of broad trends, but the missing 2023 year weakens any continuous 2017 to 2024 comparison.
