I may try to do something with this data at the next Vancouver Open Data Hackathon I attend. If I do, I will post what I come up with either here on Graffiti Near Me or at marcusebarnes.com.

The data is currently available as DWG, SHP, and KML formats. I’m excited about the last format because it means I can more easily use the data with the Google Maps API (both JavaScript and Flash) and with Google Earth. For more information on the data set and how you can get your hands on it, please visit the Vancouver Open Data Catalogue Graffiti Site Data page.

QUESTION: Do you know of any other cities with open data about their “graffiti incidents”? If so, please share links to pages with more information in the comments section of this post.
