Very nice.  Congratulations, Daniel, and Tyler. ;-)

> We have reach an agreement with Québec few weeks ago. The Québec portion of NRN should be updated before next fall (the data was 8 years old :-) and it will include addressing!  Again, I understand it should be available before next fall - and in Canvec product soon after.

Also wonderful!

Daniel, are you creating separate, displaced, ways for the addressing?
 If you are applying addresses directly to the road / way, I think
block face addressing is the way to go.  There have been attempts at
automated block face to displaced Karlsruhe utilities but I don't know
if they have been completed.
