Hi Steve,
I share your desire to not duplicate stuff that is already done. There
is a strong attempt in the Ottawa community to use standard OSM tags
highway:cycleway, cycleway:lane/track and bicycle:*etc..
The bicycle router is very nice (cycle.travel). However, I think an
Ottawa bike routing algorithm will require modifications to work in
Ottawa where we need to tag routes as being maintained in the winter
(or not) and then allowing you to choose if you want a
winter-maintained route or not.
Also would like to see more options to avoid roads and only travel on
paths that are lit.
For example, I just plugged in FROM/TO where I might go, and the route
chosen is the most direct, but not the one I would take because it
goes on a very busy section of road with traffic at 100km/hour with no
shoulder. ... I would take the longer path. It also picks paths that
are not cyclable at this time of year.
