Afternoon everyone,
Metrolinx is looking at adding missing address ranges - either those that were
never added in or those that are in new neighbourhoods. I believe they're also
looking for problems where the street name on the highway doesn't match the
address range street name due to spelling mistakes, different sources, etc.

[Talk-ca] Metrolinx: OSM Golden Horseshoe Address Data
Taking a look around the data in OSM for Toronto, it would appear that the
address interpolations have been added via import from CanVec already, Pierre.
Which prompts the question as to what, exactly, did the people from Metrolinx
mean when they expressed concern about "getting better address ranges than
individual points". The current data is in address range format. So are these
inadequate (either that they don't cover the correct spaces, are incomplete or
missing) or are they looking for addresses to be attached to specific buildings?

Hello,
I'm not sure this message will help, but just in case: here in
Montreal, we have imported the address layer from CanVec data which
includes the interpolations. Import is never trivial, but given your
needs and the improvement of the service for all users it's probably
a good idea to evaluate this dataset first.
Cheers

Hey,
We had a couple of folks from Metrolinx (the GTHA/Golden
Horseshoe transit agency) at the Toronto Mappy Hour last night.
Their Triplinx route planner — http://www.triplinx.ca/
— consumes OSM data for addresses. They want to find ways to
work with the community to improve addressing in their service
area. They're mostly concerned about getting better address
ranges than individual points.
I don't know what their next steps are, but they seem to be
approaching the community in a different and slightly better way
than most agencies.
cheers,
Stewart
