Hi, We are proposing an import of the CC0-licensed building height data for San Francisco [0].
This import will not add new buildings - instead, we're conflating the available LIDAR height data with existing OSM building footprints. The data was collected in 2011 and covers the city/county of San Francisco. 161,473 OSM buildings have heights that can be derived from LIDAR. This import is low-impact - the only changes being made are adding a height tag to buildings that don't have one yet. We have a working process and task manager set up, and would now like the community to review our plan. We've contacted the local OSM user group [1] as well. We've set up a public chat channel on Gitter to discuss the import [2]. This has been cross-posted to talk-us@, imports-us@ and imports@. Thank you, Brandon Liu, github.com/bdon Alan McConchie, github.com/almccon [0] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Building_Height_Import [1] http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-OpenStreetMappers/ [2] https://gitter.im/osmlab/sf_building_height_import _______________________________________________ Imports-us mailing list Imports-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports-us
