PostGIS Tiger Geocoder 2025.1
The PostGIS development team is pleased to provide postgis_tiger_geocoder extension. This is the very first release since the break from the PostGIS core. This version requires PostgreSQL 16 and above and should work with any supported PostGIS version. PostGIS 3.6 series is the last series to include postgis_tiger_geocoder. PostGIS 3.7 will be shipped without postgis_tiger_geocoder. Moving forward postgis_tiger_geocoder has its own dedicated repo at OSGeo Gitea postgis_tiger_geocoder under the PostGIS org. The versioning model has also changed to be versioned based on the year of the Census US Tiger dataset that is current at time of itโs release.

City of Vienna traffic signal timing data request / Anfrage nach Ampelzeitdaten
From what I have heared through connections to the city planning department: I think they also fear that people will be able see how bad some intersections are actually for pedestrians. Local residents could then see the data and demand change now that it is fact that the crossing time is too short or the waiting time too long. Not all people in the City Management like the idea to share this data publicly, as still a lot in there like to make life for cars easier. It is a pretty political prob...
