[Talk-us-sfbay] Uploading sidewalks in San Jose, California

[Vivek Bansal]

Hey Harry,

I don't know exactly why.  Minh or Stevea may be able to give you exact
details.

I would also consider comparing the Mountain view data to the microsoft
data.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microsoft_Building_Footprint_Data

Depending on how Mt. View created their layer, one may be better or more up
to date than the other.
