i concur, Tiger 2010 has some much improved road centerline data for a
number
of states.
we need some sort of conflation tool, maybe a josm plugin or something,
that lets
us A-B current OSM vs potential imports and merge the parts we want to
keep. it'd
be a semi-manual process, lots of existing tiger stuff can be just be
replaced if it
was never edited.
