Background

As part of on-going work to improve the quality of OpenStreetMap data, Mapbox found out a lack of some neighbourhoods and suburbs in Singapore or not correct tags, and we are going to fix this soon as an emergency project. There’s a link to the problem area. There's a link to our Github ticket.

Timeframe

We are going to start fixing this issue as soon as all preparation will be done, and we plan to finish this project till the end of the week.


Tools

We are going to edit this area with the help of OSM ID using satellite images provided by Esri, Bing, Maxar and List of Postal Districts. Hashtag #mbx_singapore_districts will be used to mark changeset associated with this project.


Contact Person

We welcome feedback, suggestions, and insights from local mappers. If you have questions about this work, or specific edits made by our team, please reach out to Kseniya at kseniya.nekrasava@mapbox.com or post a comment in a changeset.


Edits

Our edits will be introduced as set of changesets with creating or editing of suburbs and neighborhoods. We will review each case of areas to be ensured that everything is as expected.
