[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Import process

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Import Progress

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Birmingham Highway Assets

Nice. We could use the lighting column data to add lit=yes to the nearby highway ways. Would need to work out how to associate node data to ways. If this is successful then we can roll out the technique to other regions. Warwickshire have put the same data online in the past. Best, On 1 Mar 201
