My intentions are to improve OpenStreetMap. If I did anything wrong, please let me know!

I enjoy adding sidewalks, landuse, landcover, speed limits, POIs, lanes, street lamps, fire hydrants, bus routes, and area:highway. I try to add landuse based on parcel data, so I will occasionally use data from Chapel Hill Open Data.

I am completing imports with the account LeifRasmussen_import.
