Hello! My name is Tom Fistere and I go by CountryLoon on OSM. After about a week of editing I thought I should throw out a couple of questions and comments of what I am doing so far...
I have started looking at the road typing throughout the state of Minnesota as it gives me an opportunity to study the status of the map statewide. I see areas that are well documented and drawn and then there are areas so neglected that the lines and imagery are needed some immediate help. I invite anyone to check out my editing job on the segment of MN 23 between St Cloud and Foley, MN as it was rebuilt to an expressway in 2013 and let me know how I did. A couple of questions, Minnesota hates concurrent highways. US 52 is concurrent with I 94 from St Paul, MN to Fargo, ND according to AASHTO but MNDoT refuses to sign the routing beyond "US 52 FOLLOWS I 94" sign at the interchange in St Paul. A similar thing occurs with US 12 through the Twin Cities to the Wisconsin line. Should the map reflect the concurrency or not? Google chose to do it but since it is unsigned, I lean toward not showing it. Most of my information is coming from county GIS sites and DOT, are there other other sites I should be checking into when looking for information verification? So far my interest is in the road network but I am willing to branch off into recreational trails and such in the future. Thanks! Tom
