As the original mapper of the cycleway in changeset 11862794 and having viewed Tony's photos [1] to refresh my memory, I concur with Tony's proposal that the way should be split in two. The western part being a parkland cycleway and therefore satisfying routing. But the eastern part, the "cycleway" - perhaps better described as "cycle route" - follows the St. Andrews Court residential motor road not the narrow asphalt path that winds around trees, that should be an ordinary footway=sidewalk as editted by Sebastian. My general observation is that there should be a balance between rigorously only mapping what is 120% properly signed cycleway, (this is sadly not true in many parts of the world and particularly not true in suburban Melbourne), and having a map that can route cyclists along safe routes that are used on a practical basis (may or may not be clearly de jure) everyday.

I thank both Sebastian and Tony for the effort put in collaboratively improving the map. I'm currently on my annual 4 month Melbourne stint - living this time in Seaford this time and cycle commuting daily through to Cheltenham.  If either of you are in that area and want to meet up for a social coffee, I'd be delighted. Email me privately. Sadly, only two more weeks to go this time but will be back in Nov.

Hi Sebastian and list,

2) are cycle routes cycleways or footways, specifically Changeset: 118627943

I have provided a link to my photos and labeled the main ones at Changeset: 118627943

I believe that way 671174716 should be split in 2, the eastern part appears to be the footpath, there is only one side with a footpath, the bicycle route is intended for the road, St Andrews Ct, not the footpath

The west section through the parkland is a cycleway, photos 22 and 23 show a bicycle route with green circle below. Its unclear what used to be in the circle before it faded.

Photo 21 end of McKay shows no signage. I looked.

18 and 19 are a bit confusing, they show a route coming out of Tricks Reserve

18 partly obscured shows a route east along McKay
51 shows this sign more clearly

Tony
