</span>I was a bit confused by terminology - I thought that Bjenk was referring<br>
to LCTs. The one I live in looks like this:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gist.github.com/scruss/e4778dfc3a0ea5261581e688c4332c93" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/scruss<wbr>/e4778dfc3a0ea5261581e688c4332<wbr>c93</a><br>
<br>
It's bounded by Eglinton Ave East, the Stouffville rail line, Corvette<br>
Ave, Kennedy Rd, St Clair Ave East, the old GECO rail spur, and finally<br>
Kennedy Rd again.<br>
<br>
There's nothing to say that you're in this area (ward?), and as it's<br>
designated by boundary ways, any import relation would have to map on to<br>
the existing ways in OSM, and not StatCan's data. Even though many of<br>
our ways are based on earlier imports of Federal data, there isn't a<br>
perfect match. To StatCan, Eglinton Ave East is just a line. To us, it's<br>
multiple separated ways.<br>
<br>
I don't believe that these divisions belong in OSM, even although they<br>
have legal definition for census use.<br>
