A few ideas for assessing completeness of OpenStreetMap in Toronto either programmatically or programming-assisted. Note that much/all of these comparison sources are not ODbL compatible, so this would be only for highlighting areas that need care, rather than importing:
- Toronto DineSafe vs POIs -> flag things on DineSafe which are not in OSM (approximate match by name, location)
- POIs that are in DineSafe but missing address in OSM (DineSafe certificate shows address and is displayed publicly, so address should be always surveyable)
- schools, at least from TDSB and TCDSB
- daycares/childcares, if there is a list of daycares we could compare against?
- community centres (city's?)
- which ones are cooling and/or warming centres
- splash pads seem to have adopted playground=splash_pad
- bus/streetcar stops count, rough positions (vs TTC GTFS)
- subway stations -> possibly via http://osm-subway.maps.me/toronto.geojson vs TTC GTFS - also verify consistency in naming
- accessibility tags of subway stations - does wheelchair tag match TTC's publicized information, and if accessible, does it have elevators mapped?
- accessibility tags of bus/streetcar stops - how many have wheelchair tag
- bus routes: ptv1 vs ptv2, non-brokenness, routability
- could use 10-minute-network as a subset of "more important" bus lines to focus on first
- or consider the busiest routes as priority: [1], [2], [3] from [4] "Transit Priority" section
- Finch East/West, Eglinton East, York Mills, Jane, Lawrence West/East, Don Mills, Dufferin, Sheppard East, Wilson, Steeles West, all major streetcar routes

- bike share stations
- "smart" stations with payment:credit_cards=no?
- TPA/green P parking lots
- also with tagging like ref, operator, no "access" tag, fee
- OSM.org Notes in Toronto
- doctors, if we can find an official source (https://www.torontocentralhealthline.ca/ maybe?)
- walk-in clinics (have a tag for separating walk-in clinics from doctor's offices, walk-in=yes?)
- percentage of land area covered by a landuse tag -> see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/GZU for a basic query, March 2019 still missing in parts of old city, North York, Scarborough
- Toronto has 53 outdoor rinks, map them all by winter 2019-2020
- see also Toronto/Statistics though it is a one-time snapshot I don't fully understand yet
