| Brampton Address Import & Conflation | It would be great to see an import of addresses (and buildings, if possible) for Brampton. But please make sure to comply with the requirements to use CC By 4.0 in OSM |

| Skyway.run: Mapping Downtown Minneapolis | I love this project. Years ago, in the middle of winter, I moved to Eden Prairie and worked downtown. Every day I walk the skyways for lunch and shopping. Then, one nice spring day, I decided to walk back outside after having lunch. Got LOST! Had to go back into the skyway system to find my way back to work! Good luck with your project and building a community. Check to see if there are OSGeo group or people interested. I’m not sure if OSM US funds Meetup, but if so, that is a great way to get people interested. |

| GTFS to OSM GO Sync | I assume you are talking about https://github.com/reubot/gtfs-osm-sync. I haven’t tried it but fortunately I live in a rural area. |

| New validation rule: Suspicious addr:state value | Thanks for fixing those in Canada. I could say something about becoming the 51st state, but who needs that xxx |

| Wheelchair Accessibility Mapping in Regina - Some Thoughts | @Pieter Vander Vennet Check out AccessMap.app. It routes via elevators inside of buildings. For example, in downtown Seattle, where the streets are steep, as well as at light rail stations. |

| Wheelchair Accessibility Mapping in Regina - Some Thoughts | It is a shame that the mall doesn’t have elevators for people with mobility issues. I’ve been mapping sidewalks as separate ways for some time. I got started after working with the University of Washington Taskar Center Accessible Technology. The Taskar center even has a great map tool, AccessMap.app. It likely because the Taskar Center is located in Seattle that they created such a great map tool. Seattle is a very hilly city. So AccessMap.app will even direct wheelchair users to elevators during opening hours. If you get Regina sidewalks map, let the Taskar Center know so they can add your city to their map. OSM US is also has a Pedestrian Working Group. We hope to have a sidewalk map done in the near future. |
