index.html contains map frontend code itself. Change it if you want to change the way information is displayed.
data/projects.json contains scraped data. It is generated by combination of download.py and preprocess.py
download.py downloads pdfs from Mountain View website into data/ folder. It also converts them to text and parses using parse.py module. Results are written to data/projects.json.
preprocess.py prepares data/projects.json for use on map. It tries to parse addresses from project titles and geocodes them using Google Maps API.

This will start webserver available on http://localhost:8000. It is important to open web page from server as JS cannot load data if you open it locally from file system.
