Reminder, Jammers tomorrow at PSU- 6-8PM, Cramer 469

[Katie Urey]

Hi All,

Just a reminder that we meet tomorrow from 4-6PM at Cramer Hall, PSU.

Last week 3 PSU students gave Scott's sidewalk splitter/analysis ESRI addin a good workout.

We have new sample data from Michael A.

So, between these topics, reviewing the poster created by the 3 PSU students, we do have a start of discussion points.

I've been looking at patterns found in the sample data from Michael A and have found

-some tag key:value pairs that surprised us, but are apparently correct:  highway:residential for "quartenary" streets, highway:living_streets, from volunteer mappers.

Many traffic calming nodes in Portland from the TriMet team.

Also, the pdx-osgeo group meets tonight and I will plug our SOTM session there.

best,
Katie

I work with the work order writer and pavement crew supervisor directly to keep updated on traffic calming speed bumps so I can be an authoritative source on that if needed.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the note about speed bumps. 

The question at hand for me is to be able to list specific strengths, weaknesses, opportunities in using either city/authoritative data or volunteered/osm data.  I find the territory fuzzy.

For instance, is the osm data added by trimet employees authoritative or volunteered?

Is volunteered data about Portland Streets classified as "living streets"  wishful thinking, or valuable/precedent/influencing labels. 

Add to the list, OSM layers and bridge gotchas, sidewalks coverage, crossings, speed notes and whatever information that may/may not add useful and correct information to mapping, routing, and analyzing stories about where people walk.

more later, (after my walk!)

best,
Katie

The OSM quality question came up at the quarterly RLIS Partner meeting today.  It sounds like it is going to be a future topic of discussion.
