A possible task on the OSM side is to check the tags on footways through parks. Some cities allow bicycles to use them but it needs local knowledge, perhaps a project of the week? As we start to get more routing made available so having the right tags on footways and cycle paths becomes more important.<br>

HI all,<br><br>just a quick note - we've added bicycle and pedestrian routing options to the MapQuest Open sites<br><br>more details here:<br><a href="http://blog.mapquest.com/2011/03/03/open-routing-options-expanded/" target="_blank">http://blog.mapquest.com/2011/03/03/open-routing-options-expanded/</a><br>
<br>couple known things:<br> - We've already discovered highway=bridleway not included - we've updated the base code already, but it requires a re-conversion from scratch, so it'll take a week or two before bridleways get picked up<br>
<br> - if you're familiar with the underlying services from <a href="http://open.mapquestapi.com" target="_blank">http://open.mapquestapi.com</a> you'll notice that neither the elevation service, nor use of the cyclingRoadFactor parameter are in the UI yet - that'll come later<br>
<br>knowing the amazing diligence of this community, I'm sure you guys will find tags we've missed that should or could be used for bike/pedestrian. If you feel its worth mentioning, please please please provide some point of reference so we can eyeball it - a wayID, or a link to a route on the open mapquest site where it isnt going thru a feature you think it should. Thanks.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Ant (The Limey)<br>
