Possible datasets from metro

[beck410]

Metro has provided us with a list of datasets that they can make available (eventually) if we ask them.

So there are a few datasets that are interesting. One that could be added now is the building license data.

It would take some clever visualization, but it could be pretty cool. They have a map visualization on the data portal, but I bet we could figure out something better.

Also, a consensus dataset from https://trello.com/b/hNgIvNMH/nashvillebrigade (go vote for datasets!) is the business licensure dataset which could also be of interest. Obviously these are not public utilities.

Metro's parks and facilities dataset is available however.

Parks special events permitting dataset is available but it's all from this year

Public art collection

I'll stop now.

I know it's not on the list, but the biggest dataset for transparency is the budget: line item detail, not just monthly/quarterly/yearly aggregates. I'd also like to see a dataset for metro legislation: proposed, passed, and council member sponsors/votes. We can tie them together with the contracts dataset to give more insight on how money impacts policy.

I'm pretty sure @danburger is working on a political category with data from the census - good ideas @texdc to tie in with this category - i also think a separate category just for the budget would be ideal as its quite big
