If your data for the map is static, then nothing wrong with using an XML file.
It's when the data for your map changes a lot then server-side scripting comes into play, or when you want to store data put on your map from visitors. Most of the maps we do for our site use static XML files (well actually now use JSON files) as the points don't change. Only a couple are database driven as the points change regularly, and we use ASP or ASP.net here. Looking at your map things like parking and library's do not change every day so there's no great advantage switching to PHP to create the data. P.S. I like the markers you've used for police and places of interest!
