Hi Folks,
In this case the user name of NTCA is a bit of a hint. Took me a couple of minutes to find this group https://www.facebook.com/nerangtrailcare/ - Nerang Trail Care Alliance In this case I would agree with the deletions Cheers - Phil From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 29 October 2021 2:05 PM To: 'OSM Australian Talk List' <[email protected]> Subject: [talk-au] "Removing closed or illegal trails." (in Nerang National Park) https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/112722497 "Removing closed or illegal trails. Tidy up of Fire Roads and places" My opinion on the topic is: If it exists on the ground, it gets mapped. If there is no legal access, that's access=no or access=private. If it's a path that has been created by traffic where it's not officially meant to go, it's informal=yes. That seems to be in line with the previously established consensus on the list here: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2019-September/012863.html I have no local knowledge of the area and am not really invested in this one way or another, but I feel that paths that verifiably physically exist on the ground (which I assume these are) shouldn't be simply deleted. If access is legally prohibited in some way, then the tags should reflect that, not the way simply being deleted. What's the general opinion about this? Cheers, Thorsten
