[Talk-us-massachusetts] Address Review: Wellfleet & import concerns

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

Wellfleet's 854 fuzzy address points took me over 8 hours to review.
I added or changed 184 steets. 66 points were bad data.
The address points occasionally pointed to new buildings that I traced from
"mapbox satellite" imagery.
To double check my work I bumped the 184 streets against the basic address
xls file and found that I had made 10 spelling errors. Changing the upper
case street name to lower case caused most of my spelling errors.

It would have helped immensely to have a MassDOT street imagery layer
similar to our "MassGIS L3 Parcels" overlay. Street geometry is often
difficult to trace in the woods.

I downloaded the MassDot Street
https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/massgis-data-massachusetts-department-transportation-massdot-roads
shp
file but it was too big to open in JOSM.

I don't see a problem importing single addresses (not stacked) and match
street name & buildings' centroid  and do not have a STATUS_CODE of
"inactive", "not found" or "review".
A maproultte process, allowing me to see an entire street and the addresses
to be imported would be fine with me. Am I correct that the address "node"
values will be transferred to the building "way" automatically?

Adding new building outlines is going to be needed to complete the address
import. Does anyone know where to download massgis buildings shape file by
town?
