To answer your question...Yes, our new road dataset is a significant
improvement over current TIGER data (which I obtained from
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tgrshp2007/tgrshp2007.html)
According to [1] the best options for bulk uploading non-GPS data, is to
use the API directly or JOSM. Any recommendation for either one of
these? Using JOSM seems to be the way to go as I can view WMS services
as a background, although I will need to convert my shapefile into .osm
format. Any recommendations on a shp2osm conversion process?
If I do upload data this way, it seems like the new roads will sit
alongside of the currently present road data on OSM. Can I simply
overwrite the current road data, or is it a manual deleting process
before I upload the new stuff? Thanks.

How does your data compare to the TIGER data which is already there? Do
you think it is worth the trouble of replacing what we have now?
