@jcarlson I hadn't realised how nerfed the shapefile is. Using it seems like a mistake.

But even asking people to do the pbf is going to discourage a lot of people.

There are a few "easier" options I've seen out there, where you basically just edit a config file, and click "run".

But step 1 is usually something like "pull this Docker image" or "clone this git repo", which is an automatic turnoff for a lot of folks.

I do think there's some value in the model Esri's followed on this. They have an osm2pgsql service running updates at 15-minute intervals, and they make access to those services open to anyone.

Those specific services don't have the specialized fields that Utah needs.

I like to imagine if a wider group of organizations could coalesce around a schema and a geographic area of interest, maybe they could collectively support a shared instance.
