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.
railway=construction; construction=tram
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...
note=6 month tram works until September 2009

Any thoughts?
