[Imports] TriMet will begin OSM improvements in the Portland area

[Kate Chapman]

Hi PJ,

Sounds cool.  Is there a plan for keeping things up to date?  Or is it
to just get the data the best it can be between OSM/TRIMET and then
continue editing in OpenStreetMap overtime?  Or some other plan I
haven't thought of.
