[Talk-ca] address:block - brain storming

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi Richard, & cc:talk-ca,

As i was comparing our 'superior quality map' i can show you an example of
address:block you can see on the Google maps you can see Empress Avenue and
the '2500' and also Shawnigan Lake Road / Cobble Hill road '3540' &
'3440'.   I know from the canvec data (not used roads) it has the
address:range, this info could be extrapolated and used as the address:block
tag with  rounding.   Any ideas on how OSM can render that?  (this is
something that can be manually entered when navigating the roads as it's on
the streetsigns over here.

Talk-ca list, is it the same in your town?
