Another big thanks here to those involved in setting this up! I do have a suggestion for the site. Perhaps it is already implemented elsewhere, in which case maybe all I need is to be reminded of its location so I can update my bookmarks.
I think it would be great to have access to a routing engine using as current a Canadian data extract as possible... like daily or even more recent. I seem to remember that a year or so ago, we had access to one that was ostensibly for Europe only, but which did include fairly recent Canadian data. I remember using it while doing some CanVec imports. Darned if I can find it now. It really was a great help. I remember that in my case, it highlighted the need for special access= tagging of emergency-only crossovers on divided highways. I've found a few sites that route off of OSM data, but the data are not always current as far as I can tell... and while being a separate issue, the routing plugin on JOSM hasn't worked for me for many months now. Anyway, like I said, if there is an existing tool, please let me know. Otherwise, I think one based on up-to-date Canadian data would be a big help not only for mapping, but provide a great public service as well.
