Hi! I have noticed that some mappers seem to want to map proposed highways and railways even if they are just proposals for now. An example is the LRT Line 6 East Extension which goes from GMA, Cavite to Santa Rosa, Laguna. See the following relation history: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/14775619/history
Following the on the ground principle of OSM, I think we should only be mapping proposed infrastructure when the alignment is already fixed, and right-of-way acquisition is ongoing. Otherwise, especially in the case of railways, adding a bunch of proposed stations, lines, stop positions, and similar objects is just clutter and would likely be confused or glued to existing features such as buildings by other mappers. I've discussed this topic in the OSM PH Telegram group and several mappers have agreed with this sentiment and no opposition. Any other thoughts? ~Eugene
