The city doesn't allow the use of the data for commercial purposes. From
the City's website [A]  "(1) The information shall not be used or displayed
in any manner for commercial purposes without the written consent of the
City; (2) The information shall not be used or displayed in any manner for
public purposes unless attributed to the City; (3) The information may be
used solely for personal, informational, non-commercial purposes; "

Please ask the city for a waiver of the terms and add that to the wiki.

Best,
Clifford
