<p>Hi all, <br>
</p>
<p>I've been spending some time today working on restarting the
Toronto building import effort which seems to have stalled a while
back (I got distracted, sorry!). <br>
</p>
<p>What I'm proposing to do is essentially just to finish off the
building import that was started over a year ago in Ontario,
though just within the bounds of the City of Toronto. That larger
import, at the time, never reached the central parts of the city
and there are about 55,000 buildings that can still easily be
imported from the ODB. <br>
</p>
<p>There is an outline of the proposal here (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Toronto_building_import">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Toronto_building_import</a> ) <br>
</p>
<p>And I've uploaded some task-level OSM data to GitHub (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Nate-Wessel/TO-building-import/tree/master/tasks">https://github.com/Nate-Wessel/TO-building-import/tree/master/tasks</a>
) if anyone cares to inspect it.<br>
</p>
<p>Hopefully this import process will address most of the concerns
raised about the initial import, including those I raised myself
;-)<br>
</p>
<p>Anyway, this email is just to notify y'all that I've been working
on this again and to start the necessary discussions and get any
feedback. I'd love to begin to move forward in the next couple of
weeks if there is support for this effort here, and on the imports
mailing list. Please let me know what you think!<br>
</p>
<p>Best,<br>
