SEARCH ARVADA'S OPENDATA INITIATIVE:

The City of Arvada recently launched a data catalog through a new project called the Arvada OpenData Initiative. Arvada OpenData currently provides access to data, maps, and third-party applications through a searchable data catalog. You can access data in XML, Text/CSV, KML/KMZ, Feeds, XLS, or ESRI Shapefile formats.  Datasets and tools available on Arvada OpenData are searchable by category and keyword.
