That sounds like this data should essentially be an overpass-turbo (OpenStreetMap) query away, with an overlay for reviews. Why build a new dataset from the ground up with ©Winnipee at the bottom so nobody can reuse the data when the project is inevitably abandoned (even if that's fifty years down the line)?

Edit: example data query http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1A2I
