Many years ago, I had to go through this part of town deleting lots of nonexistent streets that ostensibly climbed up the hill.

Deleting them from OSM, that is. Hard to delete something from OHM that hasn’t been mapped yet. 😛

Without looking, I’m going to venture a guess that Alexander Street is in TIGER too. Many years ago, I had to go through this part of town deleting lots of nonexistent streets that ostensibly climbed up the hill. Maybe this was one of them, or maybe someone got to it before me.

Did you know Hamilton County publishes a substantial dataset of paper streets and vacated streets in the public domain? An import of highway=proposed and not:highway=* ways? Peak OHM!

The forum thread for this project has a link to the spreadsheet, in case anyone wants to see how it’s done.
