Hi all, I've done some random cleanup in parts of LA. Or Burbank of whatever. I'm not expert enough to recognize the sub-regional details of the greater LA area. :-)
When a community member calls for help, there are many of us who like to help. In this case, I'd like some more help to let me help, if that makes sense? Here's the thing, I can un-knot older data and I can reconcile TIGER / Aerial / old data, but I don't know where best to apply my time. What I _think_ is effective, is to tackle "the main arterials first" to divide an area into smaller chunks. And / or to fix the worst / most-confusing stuff first. Then other mappers can grab the smaller / simpler chunks and tackle them. I dove into a mostly random area that might be Burbank, and found that portions of West Chandler Boulevard were missing, and I've fixed that. I've also reconnected intersections, re-aligned and named where un-named from TIGER11. Hopefully that will make it easier for more of us to grab smaller adjoining areas and fix them as well. A question though, for local experts, what are some other high value, badly needing help, streets should I go after? Could you list three or four things others could do to help locally, that would allow you to carry on yourself? I think this divide and fix approach should work in most areas. So, where are you and what can we help you with, that will help your local folks get back on your feet? _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
