Description
The current bulk data load that uses GIS data was directly ported from sqlldr files and uses simple arrays for the data defining the geometry.
To facilate more people being able to help maintain this data it should be moved to GeoJson as that is a standard supported by various GUI tools, Oracle, and other databases that handle GIS data.

Research direction
Start by locating the current bulk GIS data load and its sqlldr-derived array definitions. Review how the existing geographic data is represented and how GeoJSON could fit the supported database and GIS workflows. Done when the bulk data is maintained in GeoJSON rather than simple geometry arrays.
