I'd also add garbage collection schedules, off-leash or dog parks, and even though this schedule changes, proposed road construction zones and photo radar schedules.

Committees would likely not have the same level of disclosure, but public Council meetings, including recording of all votes should be part of the data from the get-go.

I fully agree that georeferenced GIS data has to be made available if visual and effective crunching of city data is to happen. The city does have that data on hand already and they charge a very healthy rate for it. I suspect the revenue gained in selling that data may be part of why there is some reticence in opening things up. Keep the good pressure up. Mixed up that initial posting.

I'd love to see city budget data in cvs format, but it's not really a stretch from any of your ideas. It's simply making all data easy to work with and analyze.
