Just to highlight some mapping ITO have just released [<a href="http://hs2maps.com/" target="_blank">http://hs2maps.com/</a>], which was developed with CPRE showing the construction, landuse and operation impacts of the High Speed 2 line. ... Would be great to get more detail into OSM along the route, in particular footpaths and heritage details so the project is based on a thorough understanding of the impacts. We will update the maps from time to time, and use the latest OSM data when we do so.<br>

If you wish to detect which public rights of way (PROWs) are close to the route of the proposed HS2, my web site <a href="http://www.thehs2.com" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com</a> may help.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.thehs2.com" target="_blank">www.thehs2.com</a> can be used to display a map showing:<br>
the route of the HS2;<br>
the PROWs that are close to the route of the HS2;<br>
the points at which these PROWs cross the route of the HS2.<br>
The underlying map can be from the Ordnance Survey, OpenStreetMap, Google or Bing.<br>
<br>
Examples are:<br>
Phase 1 (from London to the West Midlands):<br>
<a href="http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/maps/showmap.php?place=South%20Heath&type=rcOSM&lat=51.705&lon=-0.677&zoom=13" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/<u></u>maps/showmap.php?place=South%<u></u>20Heath&type=rcOSM&lat=51.705&<u></u>lon=-0.677&zoom=13</a><br>
Phase 2 (from the West Midlands to the North West and the North East):<br>
<a href="http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/maps/showmap.php?place=Culcheth&type=rcOSM&lat=53.45&lon=-2.52&zoom=13" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/<u></u>maps/showmap.php?place=<u></u>Culcheth&type=rcOSM&lat=53.45&<u></u>lon=-2.52&zoom=13</a><br>
<br>
Those web pages show a map from OpenStreetMap with various items superimposed on the map:<br>
a multi-coloured line that shows the route of the HS2;<br>
some cyan coloured lines showing the route of PROWs;<br>
some circles showing crossing points (i.e., where HS2 and a PROW meet).<br>
You can click on any of these items to get more details about the item.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.thehs2.com" target="_blank">www.thehs2.com</a> provides information about PROWs close to the HS2 as follows:<br>
Phase 1:<br>
Only for those PROWs which I've walked. This is all but two of the<br>
crossing points between Euston and Offchurch (near Leamington Spa).<br>
Because of my GPS device, this data is inaccurate in places.<br>
Phase 2:<br>
Only for those PROWs where the council has released data about their<br>
PROWs. This is actually most of the PROWs as only the councils of<br>
Manchester, Sheffield and Trafford are unable to supply data.<br>
<br>
The data is also available in KML format:<br>
Phase 1:<br>
crossing points: <a href="http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/kmls/c/all.kml" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/<u></u>kmls/c/all.kml</a><br>
PROWs: <a href="http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/kmls/r/all.kml" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/<u></u>kmls/r/all.kml</a><br>
Phase 2:<br>
crossing points: <a href="http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/kmls/c/all.kml" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/<u></u>kmls/c/all.kml</a><br>
PROWs: <a href="http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/kmls/r/all.kml" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/<u></u>kmls/r/all.kml</a><br>
<br>
The crossing points are also available in csv files:<br>
Phase 1:<br>
<a href="http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/kmls/c/all.csv" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com/phase1/<u></u>kmls/c/all.csv</a><br>
Phase 2:<br>
<a href="http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/kmls/c/all.csv" target="_blank">http://www.thehs2.com/phase2/<u></u>kmls/c/all.csv</a><br>
In these csv files, the word "Fill" means "embankment" and the phrase<br>
"At Grade" means "level with the nearby land".<br>
<br>
So these maps/data may help you find the PROWs which cross the route of the HS2 that are missing from OpenStreetMap and so need some mapping done.<br>
