[Talk-us] Tracing buildings in US Cities

[Jinal Foflia]

Hi everyone,

This is Jinal Foflia and I work with the Mapbox's Data team [0]. Our
team is planning to work on improving the coverage of building footprints
in the following cities:


   - Jacksonville, Florida
   - Memphis, Tennessee
   - Louisville, Kentucky


Let us know if there are any ongoing/probable imports happening in any of
these cities? If so, please post back on this thread, this will be really
helpful!

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] Fort Worth, Texas import

[Jinal Foflia]

Hey Joe, Andrew,

With regard to this import moving ahead, we have decided to archive the
project in the tasking manager [0] to avoid community working on these
tasks and digitize data.

Re: [Talk-us] Data team mapping buildings in Fort Worth and Dallas

[Jinal Foflia]

Hey everyone,

Since there are plans of having building footprints imported [0] in Fort
Worth region, we have decided to archive the project in the tasking manager
[1][2] to avoid community working on these tasks and digitize data. Thank
you, Andrew, for the heads-up related to the import!
