</span>If the proposal was from between 1960 and 1969, "within 25 years" would<br>
have been no later than the end of 1994, possibly as early as 1985. So<br>
on those, I would be okay with removal unless construction suddenly<br>
becomes imminent, because we are long past that point. On newer<br>
proposals, maybe a grace period of 3 months to a year after the stated<br>
construction time frame, then get rid of it. If it's built later it can<br>
always be re-added.<br>
<br>
I have a fair amount of proposed roads in my area too, but the freeways<br>
which were proposed decades ago and not only were never built, but<br>
almost certainly never will be, never were added to OSM. I probably<br>
should research the others to see what the statuses of the respective<br>
proposals are now, especially those that have been sitting there a<br>
while.<br>
