[Talk-us] Sabotage or a really bad bot?

[Charlotte Wolter]

Hello,

         Looks like, given Paul's information, that I just have to go in and
correct as many as I can.
         This is an occasional issue with TIGER data. Somehow, when an
address is located at the end of a driveway, especially long driveways,
the driveway is given the street name. It may be a thing with TIGER
software. Having worked on the Census, I know they create streets by
marking a GPS point for every address. So, somehow the processing of
the information they get, driveways become streets.
         I'll keep working on it.
