Just a heads up to everyone, Metro DRC is holding a staff meeting on Monday regarding moving to a crowdsourced model to maintain the map. I contacted the Bike There lead yesterday, who informed me this morning that my timing was impeccable, and my expressed interest in merging this data in OSM will be used by the staffer I contacted to aggressively campaign for making the Bike There data public domain and getting it merged into our map.
Currently, Portland's map contains two complete NCN routes (I-84, I-205) , one RCN (Oregon 99/Interstate Bridge), and an incomplete LCN (The 40 Mile Loop Greenway). Notably missing is the entire Portland LCN (consisting of literally dozens of bicycle boulevards and thousands of miles of bicycle lane), and the RCN "Willamette Valley Greenway" (ref=WV) opening this summer connecting to Salem. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.521&lon=-122.571&zoom=10&layers=00B0FTF Once the import is complete, cyclists travelling in or to Portland won't necessarily be forced to wear out any more $7 paper maps in the constant drizzle anymore, and hopefully the quality of the data will improve rapidly over previous editions.
