California/MROSD

Description

Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District owns and manages/operates open space in the San Francisco Bay Area and has given OSM explicit permission to upload area boundaries of all parks and trail data managed/owned by MROSD.

MROSD's PreservesOpen_PermitOnly_andClosed layer appears to be a subset of CASIL's CPAD_Units_Fee_Aug09 (probably Holdings as well, as the preserves are presumably single holdings) with some minor alignment changes (CPAD appears to be slightly better, with space for roads between parcels). In fact, much newer CPAD data (as of early 2020, "CPAD 2019b" of November, 2019) are available. See California/Using CPAD data for how to migrate tags from CPAD shapefiles to OSM tags with the best practices outlined there.

Status

upload of area boundaries done. common tags used for all areas

attribution=MROSD
boundary=protected_area
protect_class=5
leisure=nature_reserve
mrosd:version = 2008.11.20.MROSD_GIS.zip (or whatever might be appropriate)
source=http://openspace.org

preparing trails, shape2osm conversion done, closed gaps, removed duplicate nodes data needs manual merge with existing data and cleanup. trails are only partially connected. to avoid cluttering the maps name tag and highway tags use undefined values. thes should be changed when cleanup is done

Process

1) extract open areas from shape file in Qgis

2) convert shape file with java version of Shp2osm and add some tags with a perl script. areas with holes or > 200nodes are created as multipolygon relations by shp2osm automatically.

3) upload with JOSM and merge with existing data
