Hi all,
I am proposing to import the City of Coquitlam Fire Hydrant dataset, sourced from the City of Coquitlam’s open data portal.
Documentation
You can find my wiki page for this import here: Vancouver/Imports/Coquitlam/Fire Hydrants - OpenStreetMap Wiki
The GeoJSON file I have prepared shows the data after it was translated to the OSM schema. You can find the latest link to this on the wiki page under “Import Data” > “OSM Data Files”
License
I have checked that this data is compatible with the ODbL, and it has been confirmed compatible by the Legal Working Group.
This data is distributed under the Open Government Licence – British Columbia.
Abstract
This dataset contains 3,600 nodes (3,589 after removing “future” hydrants), and after conversion to the OSM schema, comes in at 1.1 MB.
The dataset was converted to the OSM schema using a Python script which can be found on the wiki page.
I plan to conduct this import in one go using JOSM and the conflation plugin. There is little overlap with existing data so conflation shouldn’t be too complicated, and can be verified manually during the import process.
The list of converted tags can be found on the wiki page under “Data Transformation”, in table form.
I plan to conduct this import on June 27th, 2026 provided no issues arise.
Thanks,
Max
