Okay, so the city I live in, Manchester, is currently experiencing a 6 month long rail replacement project in the city centre, during which no trams will run and many of the roads will be closed off.
This is obviously temporary, but 6 months is a long time, so the question is, how should this be represented in OSM? Ideally, renderers would display the tram tracks, but only in a very light colour (or perhaps in dashes), so as to communicate that the line is closed. This'd be a huge improvement on Google, Yahoo, or indeed paper maps, which can't react as quickly. Options as I see it: * remove the railway=tram tags so that they disappear from the renderings. * add a closed=yes tag, which probably wouldn't currently affect renderings * leave as is. One of the problems of making any changes, of course, will be remembering to change it back when the tram line re-opens in September... Any thoughts?
