Looking at my local map in Orleans Ontario noticed that Merkley Drive
does not connect up to Charlemagne. Merkley Drive is tagged
Geobase_import_2009 and all sorts of interesting things. Charlemagne
is just tagged potlach and residential road.
Is there an easy way to extend Merkley Drive so it
can
provide that.
The system that imported the roads didnt want to interfeer with what
work previous people did.

that a script could drag in the rest of the tag values? This
would probably mean having a pure geobase OSM map somewhere that could
