Add roads data to map #45

Open jamiereid opened 10 years ago

jamiereid commented 10 years ago

To provide more context as to where the art is?

We could also map bus stop locations? Not sure if it fits with the idea. http://www.data.act.gov.au/resource/9z2v-2de8.json

I can extract roads from open street maps, I'll request the data chunk now if we decide to do it in the 11th hour but I suspect we won't have enough time to pull it off on the weekend

Can use http://download.bbbike.org/osm/ to do partial extracts

Note that the roads will be out a bit because of the ACT data being slightly offset
