The fact that anyone can update OSM means that the dataset can be more accurate and current. Same with quality of the data, because you have a whole range of contributors and downstream data users there's more eyes looking at it and using it and so more opportunity to spot issues. City of Sydney and Transport for NSW have been rolling out popup covid cycleways and there's multiple OSM community members + TfNSW staff going in mapping these throughout their construction lifecycle. Does anyone know of any examples we could learn from of local government > itself working to keep OSM data up to date? > I'm not sure of local government but Transport for NSW https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TfNSW make edits in OSM.
