NOTE: This land use data and the presentation of it should NOT be used for analysis, research, or reporting. If you need data like this, you should contact us. Each bike rack installation record (called a RackID) may have two land uses ascribed. Therefore, a RackID may be represented twice in this list. For example, a DePaul classroom downtown may be considered under "College/University" as well as "Central Business District".
