Hi,

It would be great if, in the future, you could prefix the phone number with "+1" to follow the recommendations at phone=*

Like "+1-999-999-9999"

Hi,

In the future, it would be great if you could put a space in the postal code "N4S3B1" => "N4S 3B1" to follow the official Canada Post format.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Seems like 2595 Cléroux Crescent should be 2495 based on the sequence. I've changed it.

Hello. I'm actually in Ottawa. :-) But fixing up other parts of the country too.

Thanks. There shouldn't be many existing streets within the city that are missing name:fr

Please don't forget to set name:fr tag for all streets within the City of Ottawa. I have added it for this road.

We can discuss on Friday...

Some units are letters like "PH" for "Penthouse". Like you I started adding everything into "addr:unit" but then I found parks have a QUALIFIER. Having a unit for parks didn't make sense, so I switched to the algorithm I previously mentioned.

For shopping malls, I think probably we should use unit... but I'm not sure. I didn't change those. eg

node/4018321997 = "102 C McEwen Avenue" should be "addr:unit=C". What do you think? These are not in the city's address file.

Hi Danny,

I love this collaboration between you and me on fixing up the city. I hope to see you at the meetup on Friday.

You can get JOSM to show the unit number. Install the "QuickLabel" plugin, then View>Quick Label and add "addr:unit" into the column on the right, click "apply on startup" and save.

As to your question, the city calls these letters QUALIFIER and not UNIT. Generally when they use QUALIFIER, then I put it in the addr:housenumber field, when they use UNIT, then I put it in the addr:unit field. The city mostly uses units in apartment buildings I have found.

This is the CSV file:
OBJECTID,ADDRNUM,UNITID,QUALIFIER,FULLNAME,FULLADDR,PI_MUNICIPAL_ADDRESS_ID,ADDRTYPE,POINT_X,POINT_Y
105363,4,None,A,CRYSTAL BEACH DR,4 A CRYSTAL BEACH DR,__3S0GVO,SUBORD,356946.741,5023746.675

I'm open to other suggestions how to interpret this, but this is mostly how I've tagged things. Sometimes I disagree with how the city classifies things and have an ongoing email chain with them on issues in the address file that I think they should fix.

I'm happy to discuss more on Friday at the meetup if you're there.

My "list of possible errors" (comparing OSM with address.csv) keeps getting shorter with all the great work you are doing!

You added 2 buildings with address 170 Waterbridge Drive. way/471314977,w564775328

I changed one of them to 172 Waterbridge, based on city address data.

No worries. I already changed them. Just for next time.

Is there a reason that richmond road bicycle=no?

ok, changed.

It seems strange to me that all of way/554577671 is Apple Saddlery? Maybe it is part of that area?

Hello, I see you added a lot of phone numbers in a format like 1-450-546-3256. It would be good to add "+" in front in the future to make "+1-450-546-3256" as per phone=*

Hi, I noticed you added a lot of phone numbers using the format similar to 0016133827666. Better to use +1-613-382-7666 in the future. See phone=*

3375 Eagleson Road doesn't seem to be anywhere near Eagleson Road. Are you sure?
