South KC address import A map of Kansas City, MO is provided by the City at https://maps.kcmo.org/apps/parcelviewer. My plan is to do a one-time import of 1,605 addresses from that map. The Terms of use for the data, and all data found on that site and data.kcmo.org is found here: https://data.kcmo.org/terms and is as follows:

I have downloaded address data from an area on that map in the form of a CSV file. The reason for the one-time import for such a small area is that the server does not seem capable of creating any file much larger than this. By the same token, my i3 processor and 8GB of RAM also struggles to process such large text files. I took that CSV file and used http://convertcsv.com/csv-to-geojson.htm to convert the file to GeoJSON format. Then, using the GeoJSONtoOSM command-line tool, I converted the resulting GeoJSON file to .OSM format. Then, with much trial and error and regular expressions, I formatted the .osm file into multiple, readable lines (rather than the single line the program spits out) and changed the keys and some values found in the original CSV file to something usable by OSM. The data are of addresses, *not parcels*. However, the coordinates of the address-points appear to be generated at the approximate center of each parcel. So, I made sure to manually shift as many points as I could to the center of the footprint of each house based on Esri World Imagery (clarity) Beta. I also deleted many points that were ambiguous, or did not correspond to any visible/existing building. I plan to follow up on this by drawing building footprints in the iD editor and merging them with the imported points in the very near future. Regards, teslas_moustache
