Re: [Talk-ca] Municipal boundaries

Canada Post can be ignored, luckily, when it comes to municipal boundaries. statscan's municipal boundaries are handy because it's country-wide and we have a license agreement with them. I don't think the boundaries with be an import in the true sense, more of a guide that allows us to more

and just to add to the confusion Canada Post has its own set of rules. For example my official Canada Post address is Orleans yet no such municipality or town has ever existed. There are other examples of Canada Post giving areas names. Cheerio John On 9 March 2017 at 08:55, Stewart C. Russell

Re: [Talk-ca] Municipal boundaries

And even then, not all CSDs are municipalities. In Nova Scotia for instance they have "county subdivisions" which have no legal standing at all and are just StatsCan creations. I'd suggest boundaries of actual municipalities are worthy of being added into OSM, but not all CSDs fit that bill.

CSDs are suppose to represent city/town limits (observable as usually there's a sign that says Welcome to X or Sorry to see you leave X), but they have been rounded off to look nice and may not reflect what it is in reality On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 1:05 PM, Stewart C. Russell

Re: [Talk-ca] Municipal boundaries

Morning Bjenk, Just a heads up - municipal boundaries are best of they aren't just straight up imported because they're usually done as relations. For example, we generally add roads into the boundary relationship rather than overlapping boundary and roads. Here's one I did before:

Bjenk,      In NB there are issues with some census boundaries not matching with our administrative boundaries. The issue I am aware of was with the county boundaries. The census data that is analogous to our

Re: [Talk-ca] Municipal boundaries

Depends what boundaries you are talking about: City limits(admin_level=8) there are a few(usually main cities) as for neighbourhoods (admin_level=9) they are a rarity. On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 8:50 AM, Bjenk Ellefsen wrote: > Hello, > > Municipal boundaries correspond to

[Talk-ca] Municipal boundaries

Hello, Municipal boundaries correspond to census subdivisions (CSD). I have seen that many municipalities do not have a boundary yet. Is it ok if I start adding some boundaries based on CSDs? Having the boundaries is important to make extractions and analysis at the municipal level. Bjenk
