Dear imports list,

informing that OSM Latvian community is preparing import of address points in Riga, largest city and capital of Latvia. Address point data is provided by Riga municipality via open data service and have appropriate licence. The import proposal is described in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Latvia/Riga_address_point_import The goal of import is to significantly improve addressing situation in Riga. The import size is about 20 thousand (already excluding OSM existing data) address point nodes to be added and correspondingly tagged.

Wide discussion is made in Latvian OSM mail list talk-lv (although in Latvian), where local community approves the proposed import and gives suggestions for import improvement. The import data is respectively prepared in the way not not to overlap the existing address information in Riga in OpenStreetMap database, but to supplement it.

Best regards,
Vitaly Bolshakov
