[Talk-us] Lee county, Florida

[Levente Juhász]

Hi Mango,

I'm glad you didn't get tired of adding all those buildings to OSM last
year.

I quickly checked Lee county's GIS resources and it appears that there's
even a more complete building footprint dataset that contains way more data
than the condo footprints (even single family homes) file you linked. It's
located here:
http://leegisopendata2-leegis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/building-footprints?geometry=-81.818%2C26.475%2C-81.807%2C26.476.
You're correct, this data is public domain therefore ODbL compatible. See
Chapter 119 of Florida Statues (
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0100-0199/0119/0119.html
).

Scripts from last year's Miami-Dade import to pre-process data (de-dupe,
merge, fix, etc.) are located here:
https://github.com/SouthFLMappers/OSMImport2018/ Adapting them to Lee
county should be fairly easy, as in changing a few property names. One
issue is that the new address file does not include street type (e.g. Ave,
Dr, St.) in a separate field. This requires some changes but should also be
a fairly simple fix. Wiki page from last year's project is here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Miami-Dade_County_Address_Import

I can help with the technical stuff (up to setting up a Tasking Manager
project). Can you drive this forward by following guidelines at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines and implementing
those steps?

Cheers,
Levente
