Build an app, that each time it's loaded, makes a note for wherever the app's user is. It's just a vote app. Load it, you voted. If the user wants, the user can also write a note about why a bike lane would be useful in that location.

This information is then published online. Every vote also automatically sends an email to the listed city representative (so we'd need a lat/long lookup table for the Denver Metro region, which correlates location to city representative), letting them know about it.

When drive to DIA finding a parking place often takes quite a bit of driving around, adding that level of anxiety about getting to your plane without a glitch.

Wouldn't it be great to know how many parking spaces are available in a given lot and where those parking places are located?

I hate nothing more than walking into the DMV, pulling ticket C534, then looking at the wall LED display and seeing that their currently on C472. It would be nice to have an app that shows you the current number and the amount of numbers presently in cue. Maybe even track historical data to show the slowest days or best time of day so that infrequent DMV goers don't get stuck in line for 2 hours. Would be helpful for businesses such as car dealerships and car rental companies who frequent the DMV.

Could include data about crashes and crowdsourced alerts For example: http://apps.sfgov.org/showcase/apps/cycletracks/

Create a simple application that would house all the information on vacant lots and brownfields and streamline the process of acquisition

Would include when street sweeping occurs, closest polling place, etc all related to that block/street

Would include poll locations, ballot info, let people check in on when/where theyÕve voted to understand wait times, mashup that election day info with demographic info

311 is available in the region, but is not built on open standards. If we deployed Open311 in Denver, we would have more ways of connecting to new apps developed by other civic hackers or government entities. For more info: http://open311.org

App or infographic could show where money is going based on themes like green infrastructure, planning, education, etc.

Answer the question how far can I bike/walk in 20 minutes?

For example, have people check in when they park their bike and get some sort of reward. Use gaming principles to get people to contribute data about anything from infrastructure to amenities

Example: http://www.mappedinny.com

Using data like demographics, neighborhood centers, significant streets, identify emerging neighborhoods

CKAN is an open source data catalog and repository that has been deployed regionally at http://ckan.opencolorado.org. We could add features specific to this region's needs like syncing existing web mapping platforms in the region with CKAN

The data is available for free at http://denver.beautiful.st and could be used to produce visualizations on the types of streets people preferred

Include data on education level, skills in visualizations that show where our existing labor force is

For example: locate road centerlines add more qualitative data to streets and neighborhoods

Beautiful Streets is an open source project and could be used to collect qualitative information on planning and visioning related projects. See: http://denver.beautiful.st

Create a mobile application that can help advocates and concerned individuals identify available resources for homeless

Similar to a walkscore focused on factors that make it easy to age in place
