DC Street Names

Air a phostadh le DavidYJackson 11 Am Màrt 2014 sa chànan English

There are probably dozens of street names in Washington, DC which are incorrectly named in OSM. Many of these are due to faulty data from the Census Bureau. I have been editing some of these mistakes.

Examples:

  • Olive Avenue NW fixed to Olive Street NW
  • Dumbarton Avenue NW fixed to Dumbarton Street NW
  • Small section of Ohio Drive SW fixed to 23rd Street SW (north of Independence Avenue SW)

A much bigger effort is needed. I will continue to work on some of these issue.

David - how do you see this effort structured? Would rendering a map from current OCTO data and then trace from it be a good idea? Should we dump all street names of DC and compare them to a dump of street names in OCTO data? Is just using the TIGER 2012 layer a good approach?

Your idea of to “dump all street names of DC and compare them to a dump of street names in OCTO data” makes sense. It will be easier review the data outside of OSM.

DDOT (DC DOT) has better data then Tiger 2012.
