Today I finished verifying the TIGER data for all the roads in a neighboring town today, and I am patting myself on the virtual back. That is the second one under my belt, including my home town. I am picking away at these local roads bit by bit, and I am even making a serious dent in the nearby city.

One day last week, I made a trip to the well-mapped university town nearby, and decided to do some additional mapping there. I was shocked to discover that the vast majority of streets are still tagged TIGER:Reviewed=no , even while the university foot paths and buildings are documented in ultra-fine detail. I understand people do map the details that they find interesting, but I would have thought these interests would be built upon Main Street, at least. It is disappointing to see this vital road left unreviewed. Perhaps communicating with some local mappers would encourage further road review.
