Re: [Talk-ca] Metrolinx: OSM Golden Horseshoe Address Data

[Adam Martin]

Taking a look around the data in OSM for Toronto, it would appear that the
address interpolations have been added via import from CanVec already,
Pierre. Which prompts the question as to what, exactly, did the people from
Metrolinx mean when they expressed concern about "getting better address
ranges than individual points". The current data is in address range
format. So are these inadequate (either that they don't cover the correct
spaces, are incomplete or missing) or are they looking for addresses to be
attached to specific buildings?

The issue has come up in Ottawa as well, some street names or incorrect,
the city has been correcting them but there are some hundred to be changed
when I spoke to the person at the city.

CANVEC address import seems often to have been done by different people in
different ways and in Ottawa many of the CANVEC version tags have been
removed so you can't be sure if its CANVEC or not.

It probably needs something like a HOT tile project over the city so that
it can be gone over.

Afternoon everyone,
Metrolinx is looking at adding missing address ranges - either those that were 
never added in or those that are in new neighbourhoods.  I believe they're also 
looking for problems where the street name on the highway doesn't match the 
address range street name due to spelling mistakes, different sources, etc.

Hello,



I'm not sure this message will help, but just in case: here in
Montreal, we have imported the address layer from CanVec data which
includes the interpolations. Import is never trivial, but given your
needs and the improvement of the service for all users it's probably
a good idea to evaluate this dataset first.

  Hey,



We had a couple of folks from Metrolinx (the GTHA/Golden
Horseshoe transit agency) at the Toronto Mappy Hour last night.
Their Triplinx route planner — http://www.triplinx.ca/
— consumes OSM data for addresses. They want to find ways to
work with the community to improve addressing in their service
area. They're mostly concerned about getting better address
ranges than individual points.



I don't know what their next steps are, but they seem to be
approaching the community in a different and slightly better way
than most agencies.



cheers,

 Stewart

Indeed. I checked before sending my email, but I zoomed in a place where
there is no CanVec address interpolations data, what I wrongly
extrapolated city-wide.

Sorry for both these irrelevant messages.

If you need a HOT task manager. I am currently hosting it on
tasks.osmcanada.ca. If you want to become a project manager just send me an
email after you've logged in, I can set you as one.

Hello,

I'm not sure this message will help, but just in case: here in Montreal,
we have imported the address layer from CanVec data which includes the
interpolations. Import is never trivial, but given your needs and the
improvement of the service for all users it's probably a good idea to
evaluate this dataset first.
