Oakville Addresses Layer

Turns the Town of Oakville municipal Address Points dataset into map-tile layers (interactive vector + labelled raster) that OpenStreetMap mappers can add to the iD and JOSM editors as a reference overlay.

This is a thin repo: the whole pipeline is the address-layerist engine. All that lives here is layer.toml (the data source + field map + site settings) and a run.py shim.

Setup

pip install -e ../address-layerist      # the engine + its deps

The vector-tile step needs WSL2 + tippecanoe once -- see ../address-layerist/wsl-setup.md.

Usage

addressvault pull oakville   # acquire data into the vault (separate tool)
python run.py slim       # slim the latest oakville dump into a GeoJSONL + meta
python run.py vector     # vector (MVT) tiles via WSL tippecanoe
python run.py raster     # labelled raster (PNG) tiles
python run.py site       # render the landing page

python run.py build      # slim + vector + raster + site
python run.py update     # build + publish (the daily entry point)

The engine reads the newest oakville-*.geojson from $ADDRESSVAULT_DIR (or --input PATH); it does not download. The daily task is addressvault pull oakville --wait && python run.py update (--wait coalesces onto an in-flight pull instead of racing or erroring).

Build output lands in build/site/; that directory is what gets published.

Scheduling (Windows)

Run as Administrator:

.\schedule-add.ps1       # registers a daily task "OakvilleAddressLayer"
.\schedule-remove.ps1    # unregisters it
