Cool, looking at [<a href="http://bcer.trams.bc.ca/pics/chilllq.JPG">http://bcer.trams.bc.ca/pics/chilllq.JPG</a>] the railyard was converted into the library/Salish Park/Holiday Inn (now Coast Hotels). Looks like a good use of the railway=abandoned tag? [<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railway">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railway</a>]<br>

Hi,<br><br>Nice ideas :) <br>I wish Victoria, BC would have not dug up the old street-car line and paved it into a road. It would be great to see a rail line that isn't just a tourist train going 2 times a day. ... 1 time per direction.<br>
<br>Sorry i cant be of much help right now, directly to you, but hopefully others who are more local would help. :)<br><br>(For the talk-ca@ discussion list) Hows 'railway=proposed'? As i dont think there are conflicting plans, dont see a problem with it being listed, and not physically connected. Another option is to draw it in as a GPS track (using <a href="http://bikemap.net" target="_blank">bikemap.net</a> or Garmin MapSource routable map) and just export that file for viewing overtop of Google earth with the openstreetmap KML layer turned on? (also, OpenOrienteringMap lets you draw on the map a route & print it as a PDF.<br>

<div></div>Hey Bob,<br><br>Are you just trying to compile the database? I
would personally suggest OpenStreetMaps, <br>that way other people could benefit
from your hard work - they also have excellent tools to help you with entering
the data.<br><br>If you're a web developer you can use the tools on CloudMade to
produce nice looking maps that incorporate your dataset.<br><br>I sure would
like to see that data for the Toronto area, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it
to be honest.<br><br>Thanks for using our site,<br>Kevin<br><br>
