[talk-au] HighRouleur edits

Hi Sebastian and list

I went out to Changeset: 118627943 and took photos. It is my belief  
that a short section of bike route through park should be cycleway.  
Sebastian disagrees, his changeset comment follows.

 From the Mapillary info provided, there doesn’t appear to be any  
signage permitting bicycles on said road.
Given it forms part of a designated bike route perhaps bicycle =  
dismount might be the most appropriate.

Sebastian was previously blocked by the DWG with an estimated 14,731  
bicycle paths changed to bicycle=no  in 636 changesets. He no longer  
adds bicycle=no but still changes paths to footways.

Sebastian continues to change shared paths and cycleways to footpaths  
and removes bicycle=yes solely on the basis of there not being  
explicit signage that bicycles are allowed. He has done 9 such edits  
in the last 4 days.

The DWG declines to act on the logic that without a site visit to  
check, the path might or might not be better described as a footway. I  
do not have the time to individually visit each of Sebastian's edits.  
I have had enough.

So mapping community, its your choice, do nothing and Sebastian will  
continue to change cycleways and shared paths into footways OR let  
Sebastian and the DWG know that this retagging is not acceptable to  
the community. Please let them both know in clear and unambiguous  
terms what you think, don't expect others to speak for you.

Thanks
Tony
