This looks very interesting, well worth investigating, but could any
comments be posted here please - We get notifications, they're
recorded & date sorted. I've yet to see a wiki discussion that
doesn't become incoherent after a dozen posts. <br>

<pre wrap="">Firstly, exceptionally pleased that TfL see OSM as *the* major people
access cycling data :D
Their data is highly accurate, and there's definitely going to need to be
some clever conflation tooling. Bike stands are fine, but advance stop
lines, etc. are specialist subjects in my book. I'm sightly overawed by the
quantity and am unsure whether volunteers are going to be able to get
through it, but again that is something you'll be talking about in your
report, no? There would need to be some tool development regardless of who
does the conflation.
Also, you could start some discussion in the talk tab of that wiki page if
there's anything that needs thrashing out.
...and now I know what a "Sheffield" bike stand is :)
Regards,
Jez

Transport for London (TfL) have created a new database of cycling
infrastructure, containing 240,000 assets, covering all of Greater London.
This groundbreaking database contains every cycle infrastructure asset
within Greater London, including assets on and off-carriageway. The assets
surveyed are: cycle parking; signals; signage; traffic calming measures;
restricted points (e.g. steps); advanced stop lines; crossings; cycle
lanes/tracks; and restricted routes (e.g. pedestrian only routes).
TfL is keen to make this available to the OpenStreetMap community under a
compatible open license, to ensure maximum use of the CID. TfL is also
potentially willing to consider tool development to help facilitate
sensitive merging in of this data.
There is a new Wiki page, giving full details, at:

Demonstrator map:
-----------------
A demonstrator map, for the purposes only of evaluation by the OSM
community at this stage, has been created by CycleStreets.
This demonstrator map contains only one of the 25 areas that have been
surveyed.
We are specifically seeking comments on data quality and usefulness of
this
data from the OSM community. Initial analysis by CycleStreets is that the
data is of excellent quality, and very suitable for conflation into OSM,
to
increase both comprehensiveness and metadata quality.

(Use the controls on the right to change feature type.)
Usage notes: The controls on the right of the map allow the different
feature types to be selected. The OSM layer (available at zoom level 19+)
also provides a live feed from the OSM API, to enable quick comparisons.
The two photos of each asset are in the process of being supplied; those
already available and cleared in GDPR terms are included in the popup.
It is stressed that at this point, no permission is given for re-use of
the
data in any way, but TfL strongly intends to make this available in
future.
All 25 areas would be covered in the final data release, not merely the
one
shown currently in the demonstrator map.
Feedback is very strongly encouraged, as soon as possible. What are
people's thoughts?
