DC Street Names

Posted by DavidYJackson on 11 March 2014 in 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.
