Thanks for your comments. While we do not have the reach or funding of
Sustrans, our efforts are very similar in developing the US Bicycle Route
System. We use the UK's National Cycle Network (as well as EuroVelo and the
Canadian Route Verte) as one of our example templates when we
Well, this begs the question a bit...what's the difference between chasing
down an estimated proposal and tagging it as such, and the extremely vague
PDF that's out there? I'm thinking the tagging makes for a clearer
understanding on where the route might go, and I believe adding the

If I can get the route through Oregon, I wouldn't mind finishing out that
route.

Thanks for letting me know the source of the OSM/OCM maps. Paul Johnson

I just want to chime in that we (the People of our county: partly
by Citizen participation, partly by presentations to our county
Regional Transportation Commission) find the visualizations that OSM

Steve,
I understand the concept you are putting forth and my concern is to be sure
that whatever mechanism is used for mapping US Bicycle Routes that there is
communication and coordination in the process.
And this is a bit off topic (forgive me as I am new here) but why is there

Paul,
The extremely vague PDF is a corridor plan, not a route network. The plan
was designed specifically to show where routes should be developed, leaving
the details at the state level and to be defined later. There is no way a
national effort could have been done by trying to choose the
I think Kerry's concern is about proposed routes being in the OSM db
(and renders) when no such proposed routes exist. Taking a line from
wikipedia (which I realize is tricky business), we shouldn't be doing
original research in determining things, but rather documenting things
that exist. If

Let's not get hung up in the semantics; it basically means for all

Paul,
I think you are missing my point - I don't think it's semantics.
If someone puts a bicycle route on OSM/OCM and gives it a US Bicycle Route
number then those who are working to get that route officially designated
would surely like to talk to the person who put the route up to make sure
I noticed OpenCycleMap doesn't handle bannered routes well. (Yes,
bannered routes again.) Local governments in the Columbus, Ohio, area
have been pushing for a USBR 50 Scenic to go along with the proposed
USBR 50. The route relation is currently `cycle_network=US:US:Scenic`,
`ref=50`,
