The census bureau divided the unorganized borough into 11 census areas. These have no legal significance but serve to sub-divided the state into convenient parts. In spite of this they are in many ways like counties. I've tagged them the same as counties (admin_level=6) but I'm not

[Talk-us] TIGER expansion bot

2012-11-26 Thread Serge Wroclawski
Hello all, After the OSM US Google Hangout two weeks ago, there was talk of bringing back the effort I started six months ago to create a TIGER expansion bot to run against the roads in the US. I've brushed off the code and made several improvements to it (more on this later in the mail). In

I applaude your effort to update the addresses. I'm guessing the size of the change set would make the current MapRoulette connection task seem trivial. I did look at your tiger.py script. I think br might also stand for branch as well as bridge. Also, I've seen mtn for Mountain. Clifford On

It might be because this road seems to have two type suffixes: Branch and Road. But the TIGER data model only allows for one so they shoved the first one into the name field. Ideally (IMO) they should have put Branch in its unabbreviated form into the name field. But I guess that would have
