Richard, I am interested in a Lafayette import. While I am neither a local nor do I have a lot of local knowledge, my wife is from there and I have visited a half dozen times in the past several years. While likely not appropriate for me to lead such an effort, I would be happy to participate if remote mappers are desired. I have at my disposal many friends and family that have valuable local knowledge. -Brandon _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
