I'd like to propose an import of city-sourced GIS data for James City County, Va. (yes, that’s correct, James-City-County is the name!) The City GIS manager has given the data / license for this purpose. Barring any glaring errors, the last step will be to split up a few of them into more import-size chunks.</pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">all of the processing was done in QGIS - for the building addresses, i had 2 sources of addresses, the CAD address points, and the parcel polygon address. the parcel polygon address was added via spatial join. the CAD points, for the most part did not overlap the building polygons. if a parcel had multiple buildings and the points overlapped, i added those address in lieu of parcel address. </pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">of special note in this data was a large amount of ‘legal’ non-conforming usps addresses - meaning a lot of addresses had no street type, which was confirmed through multiple on the ground sources to be accurate.</pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">i've added a set of sample osm data in the github repo that has attributes mapped.</pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">github -> <a href="https://github.com/jonahadkins/yorkcounty-OSM-imports" target="_blank">https://github.com/jonahadkins/jamescity-OSM-imports</a>
