things like the exact location of the shopmobility office (which level

weren't mobility-scooter accessible not because they weren't wide 
enough but because the angle you'd have to turn through was impossible 
(I've still no idea how to map that).


Umm I'd try 'wheelchair=no' on the way. Presumably a wheel chair would 
have similar difficulty there.


I'd actually start by asking potential users in Stockport "so what do

in that aren't covered by any OSM map.


With regard to "what shows this" 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wheelchair#Rendering (which

sure that there are others though, even features of non-"accessibility

to 
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=20=53.4955228=-2.514984

I am thinking about making a new wiki page for mappers on tags available

the format of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway

Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Mobility Stockport

2019-01-09 Thread SK53
Hi Jez,

These things are much talked about in OSM, but relatively rarely moved to a
point of real usability. I went to a really interesting talk at SotM-10
with lots of good ideas, but years later when I looked at their target city
there was nary a trace of actual mapping.

Even for step counts I'm not aware of any applications which do
reduced-step as opposed to step-free routing (unless Richard does something
in cycle.travel where a flight of 10 steps may be acceptable compared with
a kilometre detour). Part of the problem here is that often the precise
number of steps which are acceptable will depend on each individual.
However, mapping step counts is easy, everyone is likely to come to a
similar result.

Off the top of my head things which should be relatively easy to capture
and fit in OSM :

   - Steps & step counts on stairs . Either map individual flights of
   stairs separately or include some indication of how many steps there are on
   each flight. If one has to use stairs, the ability to take a breather can
   mean that 2 flights of 20 steps are easier than 1 of 30.
   - Presence of handrails on stairs
   - Atypical steps (e.g., a footpath with 1 or 2 steps every 20 metres or
   so; or ones where the individual treads are long (came across one of these
   at Birkenhead Park station & there's no lift).
   - Steeper inclines on footways/pedestrianised streets
   - Dropped kerbs (it's actually quite hard to identify properly flush
   ones, and hitting something which is just slightly proud of the line can
   jolt a wheelchair)
   - Refuge islands for pedestrian crossings
   - Unmarked crossings (often identified by dropped kerbs and perhaps a
   refuge)
   - Wheelchair access to amenities & shops (best done by a wheelchair
   user, but could be done with a tape measure for all entrances which are not
   flush). Also it's quite likely that dedicated wheelchair ramps may not have
   been mapped in the first pass.
   Do amenities/shops which have a step to gain entrance have a) a ramp or
   b) an alternative means of egress. Asking about this could be a good way to
   tell them about simple metal/fibre-glass movable ramps.
   - Pedestrian safety barriers (as these may restrict viable places to
   cross roads (not important if one solely allows ped. crossings for routing).
   - Lifts in shopping centres & other locations (e.g, railway stations).
   - Seating at bus stops

At some stage the issue of whether to map pavements (sidewalks) separately
will arise. If pavements are to be mapped separately they need to be done
systematically in any one area : incomplete mapping can cause problems with
many existing applications, particularly those which do routing (e.g.,
Traveline SouthEast). This may be a suitable case for using something like
Tasking Manager: I can set up a project if needed as I have kindly been
given rights to do on the instance supported by the Swiss OSM community.

I've spent about 3 hours in total mapping the town centre of Stockport in
2015 and 2016, so I have a bit of local knowledge. I've also mapped stuff
along the A516 to the Tameside boundary, but not really elsewhere in the
Borough. As elsewhere in NW England it is not mapped as intensively as
other places. It certainly has plenty of steps, steep pedestrian routes
right in the middle of the town. A cursory check suggests that improving
the mapping of railway stations would probably be useful, for instance the
current mapping of Brinnington doesn't accord with the statement that it is
not accessible on this forum

.

I probably have a couple of hundred photos, but Bing StreetSide is
available for the area (albeit 2012) and shows enough detail to be useful
as here  with the steps up from Little Underbank
towards the Market. Capturing more recent imagery for Mapillary would also
certainly help. The town centre is not so big as to be unmanageable. I
don't have any idea of that status of other local centres.

One project which is worth mentioning is OpenSidewalks
, which had some impact in the US. I don't
know what it's current status might be.

[Talk-GB] Mapping Mobility Stockport

2019-01-09 Thread Jez Nicholson
Seeking your input...

I'm talking with Open Data Institute (ODI) Manchester about their "Mapping
Mobility Stockport" project which won some funding in a competition to
encourage interaction between public bodies and Open Data bodies (such as
OSM).

They are "crowdsourcing and creating an accessibility map of Stockport,
working with disability action groups and Age UK."

They will be running workshops with different groups of people getting them
out mapping. Data created will 1) be added to Stockport Council’s GIS map
and to help inform them of problems, 2) be added to OSMalthough they
are keen to use OSM as the primary datastore then extract stuff for use by
the Council, and not vice versa. They will mostly be using existing tools.

I believe that some mobility things are suited for inclusion in OSM,  e.g.
number of steps in a flight (from a chat I had with SK53), or wheelchair
accessibility of shops (maybe using WheelMap).

Some things like uneven paving stones might be better suited to
FixMyStreet, but that could be used as well.

So far I've suggested using a combination of OSM ID Editor, WheelMap, and
FixMyStreet. What other tools or information on the web are there to
consider? Any specific mobility things to map (on OSM or other
tools/sites)? Is there an "accessibility render" anywhere?

 Jez

DO NOT USE THIS.

You need to read the license properly, and especially the linked
document with "third party conditions" from OS that has all sorts
of unacceptable restrictions:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/inspire-index-polygons-spatial-data#conditions-of-use
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/about/governance/policies/inspire-index-polygons-licensing-terms.html

I imagine the upcoming hopefully properly free data will basically
be the same though.

Based on the sample you have, do you have any advice over the sizes?
Presumably most people will want their hi-viz to fit over a coat, so

[Talk-GB] Property extents

2019-01-09 Thread Rob Nickerson
Hi all,

You may recall that the geospatial commission & ordnance survey have
announced that they will be releasing "property extents". By chance I found
myself in a meeting room with both organisations so I asked what "property
extents" means. It is the land area (e.g. garden boundary of a detached
house) rather than the building outline. They deem the building outline to
have too high a commercial value under their current funding mechanism.

I also found out that the commission received over 200 responses (202 I
think) hence the delay. They will be providing a summary of the responses.

Best regards,
Rob
