I've thought about heading to City Hall and using their zoning map to complete landuse for a city, as there is a correspondance. But you would also find something like landuse=school, landuse=park, etc. You would also find further subdivisions, so for residential areas you might have landuse:<some adopted code>=R1 through R4. The borders would tend to follow the the centerline of streets, as street passage tends to be allowed through the use of easments. At least in this neck of the woods. Still, the zoning maps would be useful. -- Tom Hardy <rhardy...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
