Yet more San Jose, CA adjustments

Posted by adbrown on 8 August 2008 in English.

Over the past few days, I've been repositioning a lot of the TIGER street data to align with the satellite photos ... realignment is an eternal task - you guys might try to attract as many obsessive-compulsive people as possible to your site, to clean up the TIGER data as quickly as possible. In any case, I've been systematically working at adding trail data from the city trail network - including some stuff in the suburbs of Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. Downtown San Jose, I've been adding various parks, bike trails, and foot trails, and schools. I hope in a couple weeks time to have all of the official city bike network on the map. I've also been working on road classification, using a rather subjective approach.
