A quick look shows that there are some datasets which have information which would be worth importing. The OSM data is superior in some areas so any imports will have to be done carefully to not overwrite existing data. The most interesting datasets appear to be the trails and parks ones. The OSM data is good, but I see them as a way to identify additional trails and parks which aren’t mapped.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m also willing to collect any comments about the data and forward them on to the GIS department.
