[Talk-ca] Metrolinx: OSM Golden Horseshoe Address Data

[Adam Martin]

Taking a look around the data in OSM for Toronto, it would appear that the
address interpolations have been added via import from CanVec already,
Pierre. Which prompts the question as to what, exactly, did the people from
Metrolinx mean when they expressed concern about "getting better address
ranges than individual points". The current data is in address range
format. So are these inadequate (either that they don't cover the correct
spaces, are incomplete or missing) or are they looking for addresses to be
attached to specific buildings?
