Well here is an example in the UK:<div><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=54.76883&lon=-1.59148&zoom=17&layers=B000FTF">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=54.76883&lon=-1.59148&zoom=17&layers=B000FTF</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>It's an old/disused university college that is now a housing construction site. I've been up to the fence where they started to build the roads in (you can see the kerbs).</div><div>If you see the one in the South side of the construction site I couldn't go all the way to that T-junction, but I could see it existed by looking through the gate.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I like the idea of OSM being up to date, so I kept passing by to see if it was built/open yet.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>In September I'll be back to check it again. Doing my final university year at Durham.</div>

People try to get this sort of information from textual descriptions (and local knowledge). Then of course it will probably need correcting once it is open/accessible.<div>You can try and work it out from standing at a construction fence and looking at which direction the road takes. You can also try contacting people for permission to copy their map (if they surveyed/created it or have full rights to give to you) or to access their land. It all depends how much work you want to do when sooner or later you will be able to map the trail in the normal way of going along it.<br>

Hi all,<br>
What is the communities policy for mapping 'planned construction'?<br>
<br>
Here's the situation, the Capital Region District (Victoria area) has<br>
already gained the approval of the people to actually build a trail<br>
section (from Langford to Shawnigan lake).<br>
All that needs now is some funding and some land ownership agreements.<br>
<br>
It goes over existing 'wooded area' and wont interfear with anything else.<br>
<br>
My guess would be that 'because the proposal is now in the 'waiting<br>
for construction' phase, it would be OK to map. (so it needs to gain<br>
council approval)<br>
<br>
But the catch is, is that it needs direct permission from the<br>
cartographer who drew that map that was on public display. Or the<br>
person was directly part of the 'scouting mission' to physically hike<br>
the terrain (with landowner approval) and donated the tracks to<br>
OpenStreetMap.<br>
<br>
Of course, at eithor end, the road/path should not be physically<br>
connected, and gates & signage drawn on the map where it physically<br>
exists.<br>
<br>
Ideas?<br>
Cheers,<br>
Sam<br>
