[Talk-ca] Municipal boundaries

[Kevin Farrugia]

Morning Bjenk,

Just a heads up - municipal boundaries are best of they aren't just
straight up imported because they're usually done as relations.  For
example, we generally add roads into the boundary relationship rather than
overlapping boundary and roads.  Here's one I did before:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4198907 as well as the municipalities
within it (CSD).

For those that don't know the StatsCan lexicon, in Ontario they relate as:
-Census Subdivision (CSD) is a single tier municipality or lower tier
municipality.
-Census Division (CD) is a upper tier municipality (county, region,
district) or a single tier municipality.

Hope that helps out,
Kevin

Hello,

Municipal boundaries correspond to census subdivisions (CSD). I have seen
that many municipalities do not have a boundary yet. Is it ok if I start
adding some boundaries based on CSDs? Having the boundaries is important to
make extractions and analysis at the municipal level.

Bjenk
