Script for downloading OSM and city data #3

Closed ebrelsford closed 9 years ago

ebrelsford commented 9 years ago

This could be relatively simple like the Makefile for the NYC buildings import.

For OSM: Would make sense to download the Metro Extract, select the ways we want, and clip to the NYC borough boundaries. Or we could us overpass.

City data: isn't currently online, we might have to add it to this repo?

maybe don't simplify the osm data in the Makefile, it creates some odd paths that likely will throw off a PostGIS query: osm-bike-lane-simplify-error

Yes that's the plan, I have a local version that doesn't do this, will merge soon!

The Makefile has been updated to reflect these and other changes.
