Hi all,

When this issue was last raised on the mailing list, I suggested the following tagging schema.

        * highway=rehabilitation
        * access=no
        * informal=yes
        * rehabilitation:highway=path
        * source:access=parks agency name

As has already been raised, deleting these tracks will only result in them being remapped at a later date. It should be recorded, in some way, so that the illegality of the path is stored. It's primary use is land being rehabilitated, secondary to its illegitimate use.

By indicating that the land is not a highway, but land undergoing rehabilitation, the track would:

* not be displayed/rendered as a path (at least initially, until a new rendering was introduced)
        * prevent mappers from remapping an illegal, deleted path
* provide details about the source of illegality for later ground truthing. (a check date tag could be added as well, if needed).

Thoughts?

If the tracks were kept in OSM, but tagged appropriately so as not to
appear in the rendering,

& this is the big thing. Rendering needs to show that this track shouldn't be used. Maybe access=no gets a big red X across each entrance to say "closed".

then when someone inevitably goes to add them, they would see the tracks there already. Notes as to why they have been
removed could also be added.

Possibly a description would be better than a note, because they carry across devices, rather than only being seen on OSM itself?

Thanks

Graeme
