Hi<div><br></div><div>I was actually thinking of something similar for the Region of Waterloo, for both the routes and bus stop data, which is available under an Open Data License (<a href="http://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/regionalGovernment/OpenDataLicence.asp">http://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/regionalGovernment/OpenDataLicence.asp</a>) I am exploring the use of a tool called GO-sync for converting the data. I've heard that the shape data RoW provides may not be of great quality, so I suspect it might take me some time to do this properly.</div>

to map left turn lanes), and noticed they have bus routes specified as relations on the road segments. This put me in mind of Ottawa. My first thought was to check on copyright issues. I learned that Ottawa has an open data policy (catalogue at <a href="http://www.ottawa.ca/en/city_hall/statisticsdata/opendata/info/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ottawa.ca/en/city_hall/statisticsdata/opendata/info/index.htm</a>). Talk about an embarrassment of riches! Now I just have to put the tools together to do bulk mapping to OSM.<br>
<br>Or has someone already tackled this?<br><br>Tom Taylor<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Talk-ca mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org</a><br>
