[Talk-ca] Mapping 'proposed' or 'planned' or 'construction' trails/roads/buildings

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all,
What is the communities policy for mapping 'planned construction'?

Here's the situation, the Capital Region District (Victoria area) has
already gained the approval of the people to actually build a trail
section (from Langford to Shawnigan lake).
All that needs now is some funding and some land ownership agreements.

It goes over existing 'wooded area' and wont interfear with anything else.

My guess would be that 'because the proposal is now in the 'waiting
for construction' phase, it would be OK to map. (so it needs to gain
council approval)

But the catch is, is that it needs direct permission from the
cartographer who drew that map that was on public display. Or the
person was directly part of the 'scouting mission' to physically hike
the terrain (with landowner approval) and donated the tracks to
OpenStreetMap.

Of course, at eithor end, the road/path should not be physically
connected, and gates & signage drawn on the map where it physically
exists.

Ideas?
Cheers,
Sam
