The OSM community is what OSM is even more than it is a map. People that
are passionate about railways are a part of that community and they do
contribute a lot, especially in the US where we don't have as many
mappers. They pour lots of time and love and passion into their efforts.

Hi Eric,
It looks like a good start to me. There were a couple of things that
stuck out to me: many of the parks and schools are already in OSM, even if
just as a GNIS point. Also, many of the curves in the import are over
digitized. We don't need curves of that size to have that many
This is Yet Another import from a database being maintained by someone
else. This is why we need a closedstreetmap.org, which publishes, in
OSM format using the OSM API, data which cannot be sensibly edited.
I disagree that buildings can't be sensibly edited. I trace them, add
addresses to

Hi,
Imported data turns down potential new mappers.
I really disagree with this statement. I think the mappers would be turned
off if we didn't import it when available. So you have all 250,000
address points for the city but instead of using them you'd rather us go
collect all of them a
Anyone here with experience importing bus stops? Any particular

I haven't imported any but I've tagged a bazillion of them.

It sounds like the current set of tags and structures in OSM don't properly
support what you're trying to do at the moment. I think the best way to
deal with it would to propose some new tags so that these type of addressing
schemes can be properly supported in OSM with supporting documentation.

The city of San Francisco has made a bunch of geo data available. I plan on
importing the address nodes so that we can have door to door routing for San
Francisco and for geocoding purposes. I just want to see if the click
through is compatible. My understanding is that the data is basically
uploading but I'll
take care to make sure its easily reversible if anything goes wrong and
doesn't hammer any servers.
I've also made a wiki page for the

Feedback welcome here or on the wiki page.

Hi,
There isn't a day gone past where the vast gaps in the OSM dataset, the
missing address nodes, missing turn restrictions, missing building
outlines, missing subdivisions, missing everything and whatnot don't
hugely degrade the usefulness of the project.

For bus stops I use ticker=yes/no.
I'm sure I saw that documented somewhere and didn't come up with it on my

Out of curiosity...I imagine you folks investigated just using the OSM data

San Francisco has a website at datasf.org that has a lot of good geodata on

I sent off an email to ask the city if we could get the data under a license

As to how many OSMers are in the city its hard to say exactly. There are a
few people working on the map pretty frequently and
Computer storage and processing time are relatively cheap and only getting
cheaper at an exponential rate.
OSM volunteer time is very limited.
Given those facts I wouldn't worry about unsmoothing except in
particularly egregious cases. I just don't see the benefit in decreased

I would love to see GTFS data imported into OSM, especially the SF data if
you can convince them to change the license.
I think the street= tag is a good idea.
I'm unsure of the bearing tag. If we know which street the stop is on and
where the stop is the direction the bus is going follows from
When I tag bus stops with multiple operators I add the operator name to the

I always include route information in my bus stop tagging. I think it is
