Hi all,

I'm following up from a post I sent to the list a couple weks back. I
work at the LightHouse for the Blind in San Francisco. We have data we
hope to upload to OSM, and I had planned to share examples of the data
much sooner than today. Nonetheless, here is a glimpse at the the type
of information we have. I can attach an Excel doc if that's easier,
but for now I'll just post the raw data below. After taking a look at
this, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone about whether this is an
appropriate type of POI to upload to OSM. Keep in mind our goal is to
make this data available particularly to blind travelers, as it
contains key details that our community needs when traversing the
city.
