Re: [Talk-ca] Target Canada
I don't understand why this was done. Not all of these stores are closed permanently. Unless you plan to do the reverse on Saturday for the ones remaining open , we'll be left with shop=vacant where the shop is actually open . If some of these are in areas without regular contributors, they could remain vacant for a long time. shop=vacant also doesn't render on the standard map, so it would be easy for these incorrectly- vacant locations to go unnoticed, whereas a visible Future Shop would be more likely to be noticed and then get fixed. The most I would have done would be to add a note or fixme that the name would be changing as of April 4. If you plan to do the same thing for the Target locations, please let us know in advance.

Re: [Talk-ca] Target Canada
It looks like all Target stores will close on April 12. I encourage everyone to help change the Target in your area to shop=vacant, add shop=vacant Targets that are missing from OSM, update the wiki, and change the shop=vacant Target in your area to something else if something else replaces it. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Target. Also a reminder that those Future Shop stores that will become Best Buys (generally most stores that are far from an existing Best Buy) will reopen on Saturday, April 4, 2015. All other stores will close permanently and may be replaced with another store. Please help update former Future Shops in your area. I have already changed every Future Shop which is in OSM to shop=vacant. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Future Shop.

Re: [Talk-ca] Target Canada
Added Target, Billings Bridge, Ottawa, the most active Target store in the city, to the Wiki. One of these days I'll add a complete survey of the shopping centre. I walk through it most days for exercise. The store is due (according to the signs) to close April 3.

Re: [Talk-ca] Target Canada
I've added 2 in Mississauga. My method used food inspection data (under open license of course! ) to get the locations since most Targets have Starbucks or grocery items that would need inspection. --- Kevin F Kevo Original Message From: Tom Taylor Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2015 1:38 PM To: Andrew MacKinnon; Talk-CA OpenStreetMap Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] Target Canada Added Target, Billings Bridge, Ottawa, the most active Target store in the city, to the Wiki.

Re: [Talk-ca] Target Canada
I added one in Winnipeg and one in Brandon, MB. As far as I know, all the Manitoba stores are still open. If no one beats me to it I'll change them to vacant once I see that they've closed. ~Lianne On Wed, Mar 25, 2015 at 1:36 PM kevinfarru...@gmail.com wrote: I've added 2 in Mississauga.
