[Imports] City of Portsmouth, Virginia Building/Address Import

[Jonah Adkins]

Hi Pierre, Thanks for taking a look.

The source data for this import is not AI derived - the state GIS office (VGIN) collects datasets from each city/county in Virginia, then processes them into a statewide dataset that is released (with a OSM compatible license) on a quarterly basis.

Was there a particular area in the full or sample OSM files that looked bad?

Thx
-Jonah

The source data is provided by the State of Virginia via the Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) under a  compatible license for import. There’s around 49,000 buildings, most of which include an address and building type. This import has been discussed on the OSM Slack Virginia channel with pre-review of the available sample data and I anticipate local mapper support with the import process. Conflation with existing OSM data will happen during the import.
