<div dir="ltr">In order to make this a little bit easier, I've published a job on elance to convert the shp files to kml, osm. This should allow various folks from around here to load in data via JOSM. That'll let us check data as well prior to loading.<div>
Assuming someone picks it up; I'll publish the resutls, conversion scripts on github.<br><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.elance.com/job/47684250/proposals?eventId=194330764">https://www.elance.com/job/47684250/proposals?eventId=194330764</a><br>
