Since Portland is the first city that will actually be using OTP in production it'd be good to start testing and using its street data as soon as possible. Once we have their centerline file (#26), we need to make sure it loads correctly and we can link it to the transit network for handling multimodal trips.
Ultimately we'll want to have a flexible system for loading street networks for all cities that have their own centerline files. Having only really worked with NYC's street data, I don't have a good idea of how much variation there is between cities. This could either be straightforward or require a good bit of thought.
With #64 complete, this ticket can now be closed. It's now possible to load in the Portland data (GTFS + the official shapefile,or GTFS + OSM) and plan multimodal trips.
