If you notice any problems with the import (primarily missing streets or unconnected ways), please let [[User:Mutantmonkey]] know and he'll fix it. The Road Centerline data from the Town of Blacksburg's GIS page has been imported into an [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/125761/bbg_roads.osm OSM changeset file], which can be loaded into editors like JOSM. If you want to import or fix a road, feel free to make use of it. It would be nice to replace the TIGER data with this data, but for now, it's much easier to just import roads one by one.4179" zoom ="14" w="400" hObjectives="150"/>* Campus** Complete footpath coverage (a few may be missing)** Steps and ramps (for ADA purposes)* Town of Blacksburg** Bus stops: see about getting data from Blacksburg Transit directly** Restaurants and shopping** Add apartment complexes (a few may be missing), Terrace View only renders on one LOD* New River Valley Mall and surrounding shopping centers** Buildings (trace from NAIP or 2005 VGIN imagery)** Bus stops** Parking and parking aisles** Restaurants and shopping
