wow! This is a great photo.

That is impressive... In some ways more then Niagara falls.... The reason I say that is over time (unless they use it for hydro power and reduce the water flow) those falls move over time some... Not sure how often or how much but I assume that every so often that means that bridge has to be changed some how ever they do that to a bridge..

I Love Portland
The Portland metro area has a bunch of awesome datasets from about a dozen governmental organizations.

They basically release everything geo-tagged or as structured text files.

So different from when I was trying to get access to City of Buffalo data for (the now defunct) Buffalo Feed site.

And the local bus/mass-transit organization TriMet has a full-on API:

The West Coast gets tech.

Jim, you don't post anymore. I miss your posts. :(

I like the idea of Public transport for everyone. The minute public transport attracts everyone, that's when you know that transit authorities are successful progressive thinkers - or maybe you know that gas prices are insane and that the city's traffic is even more insane or maybe both

Wow that's totally awesome, I'm jealous. In terms of the transit API, I think a major differencce is that public transit there seems more for everyone. Here it seems mostly for people who can't afford cars and those few green people. Not necessary a tech heavy group.
