Going through that wiki has my nerd-senses tingling. Just imagine the kinds of apps that could be created. Imagine a mobile app that takes your position and an inputted destination and outputs the required transit routes and even an estimated time of arrival for the next bus. That could be combined with point of interest info for a customizable virtual tour guide for the city. Not to mention all the more mundane, everyday uses like garbage pickup reminders, school info, city council voting records, crime statistics, or how about a virtual lost and found? Showing where you were when you lost/found an item on a Google Map is a hell of a lot easier than posting flyers!

Actually, that last one could be implemented now, (though it would be better if it were an official city hosted site rather than just on Google Maps). What say you RTH community? Do you think there be much interest in a map mash-up like that? Or does something like that already exist?
