[Talk-ca] Fixing an old typo...

[Colin McGregor]

Ran across the following story about the City of Ottawa fixing a 68
year old typo. in a street name:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/feriand-street-renaming-comes-68-years-after-typo-1.3270002

Being the SOB that I am I have fixed the typo. on OSM, so what is in
OSM matches the official name, NOT what the local residents want :-) .

All the best :-) .

Check this on MapCompare by Geofabrik:


http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/#18/45.4439/-75.6682=4=mapnik=google-map=bing-map=nokia-map

OSM = OK
Google = KO
Bing = OK
Here(Nokia) = OK

Cheers!

I’ve added old_name and old_name:fr tags to it containing the name it was known 
by for 68 years. :)
