Hi Sebastian and list

I went out to Changeset: 118627943 and took photos. It is my belief that a short section of bike route through park should be cycleway. Sebastian disagrees, his changeset comment follows.

Comment from HighRouleur about 5 hours ago
From the Mapillary info provided, there doesn’t appear to be any signage permitting bicycles on said road. Given it forms part of a designated bike route perhaps bicycle = dismount might be the most appropriate.

Sebastian was previously blocked by the DWG with an estimated 14,731 bicycle paths changed to bicycle=no in 636 changesets. He no longer adds bicycle=no but still changes paths to footways.

Sebastian continues to change shared paths and cycleways to footpaths and removes bicycle=yes solely on the basis of there not being explicit signage that bicycles are allowed. He has done 9 such edits in the last 4 days.

The DWG declines to act on the logic that without a site visit to check, the path might or might not be better described as a footway. I do not have the time to individually visit each of Sebastian's edits. I have had enough.

So mapping community, its your choice, do nothing and Sebastian will continue to change cycleways and shared paths into footways OR let Sebastian and the DWG know that this retagging is not acceptable to the community. Please let them both know in clear and unambiguous terms what you think, don't expect others to speak for you.

Thanks
Tony

Hi Sebastian and list,

2) are cycle routes cycleways or footways, specifically Changeset: 118627943

I have provided a link to my photos and labeled the main ones at
Changeset: 118627943

I believe that way 671174716 should be split in 2, the eastern part
appears to be the footpath, there is only one side with a footpath, the
bicycle route is intended for the road, St Andrews Ct, not the footpath

The west section through the parkland is a cycleway, photos 22 and 23
show a bicycle route with green circle below. Its unclear what used to
be in the circle before it faded.

Photo 21 end of McKay shows no signage. I looked.

18 and 19 are a bit confusing, they show a route coming out of Tricks Reserve

18 partly obscured shows a route east along McKay
51 shows this sign more clearly

Tony
