The Crown Point bridge (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/28436071) comes to mind; it's constructed of non-reinforced concrete and was essentially condemned recently with only a few hours notice (http://www.poststar.com/news/local/article_e77cd748-ba8b-11de-9ff0-001cc4c03286.html). If you decide what an appropriate tag is, would you mind updating this at the same time? seth _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
