Thanks to Pieter for the link https://www.openhistoricalmap.org
=> It deserves more visibility/publicity I think, so as to improve the
cleaning of the main OSM DB...
I'm contributing a lot to balnam too. I make use of it a lot, exactly to
ensure or recover missing paths.
Most of the time
Hey everyone,
Mapping long-erased paths (and other old features) can be done on
OpenHistoricalMap: https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/ .
The correct way to put pressure on the municipality is to work together
with Balnam.be (in Wallonia) or Trage Wegen VZW (for Flanders). They
have this kind of
Thanks for these clarifications.
The user agreed to revert, not without explaining why he still believes that
the ways should be mapped. I quote him below for the completeness. I advised
him to use balsam (ironically he *IS* a balnam volunteer !), will refer it to
OHM too.

First of all : thanks all for sharing your thoughts and insight. I learned a
lot. I believe that this case, which as I discovered was already discussed
should be clarified and documented on the wiki, but that’s another story.

Hi,
While I don't mind disused:* and razed:* to keep these kinds of paths

Hello,
In my neighbourhood somone mapped paths and ways that don't exist
anymore. I didn't want to delete his work complete and
deleted highway=path and replaced it by historic=path and left
name=Voetweg SLH°82. In this way the path isn't visible in the usual map
but it is visible in an
Hi,
The example Wouter showed hurt my eyes too much, so I have deleted some
bits; I marked a few that maybe exist as fixme:highway for now. The user
also didn't snap roads to the rest of the road network properly.
If they don't respond to comments, we might have to consider a user block.

Hi,
Let me start by saying that I have all the sympathy for the aims of the
mapper. I also have been working with communities to keep vicinal ways
open. I am also aware that certain ways are only accessible certain times
of the year due to vegetation etc. Even if a path is not visible at the
Hi,
I faced the same situation here. I sent the author a kind message,
telling this fight, even if fully justified, is not to lead via OSM but
via balnam.be (for the Wallonia part).
I got no reply, but pointing to an alternative for this justified cause
is probably something that can help
Hi,
Recently an user mapped a set of disappeared “communal” or "vicinal” ways. By
disappeared I mean they are physically absolutely not existent on the ground.
