Well I'm making my way down I-35 from Dallas to Waco right now, processing data I collected over Christmas and license cleaning at the same time. I would be happy to keep going and do some license cleaning on down to Austin, especially on the interstates. The city itself is indeed a pretty big mess :( Looks like mostly one user who has explicitly declined. Tonight I already remapped a bunch of nodes on a creek through the city. The way was clean, just a bunch of dirty nodes. Anyway, I'm wondering if places like this might be candidates for TIGER re-imports? The problem of course being that we don't really have easy to use tools to replace data in place. I just tried converting Travis county to .osm using the tag translation that Phil Gold talked about back in January. Unfortunately ogr2osm is kind of messy in some places since it creates relations and overlapping ways , particularly for highway routes but also for other random roads. So I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it. If someone wants to take a look, feel free. And feel free to remap things in Austin from it to help Thea out! Beware that this is a somewhat large file (20 MB) and JOSM will want a lot of memory to open it and it will still be slow to render if you are zoomed out very far. Turning on wireframe mode will help with rendering. http://ni.kwsn.net/~toby/OSM/travis_tx.osm I will look at it some more and hopefully do some remapping myself but my time is somewhat limited.
