[Talk-us] Importing highway surface tags

[Adam Franco]

Thank you all for the great feedback and advice! It looks like this project
is potentially feasible but that I have many things to learn and figure out
to make it happen. I'll be in touch after I've figured out how to work with
the VCGI data and then get proper usage permission. Thanks again and happy
holidays!

Best,
Adam
