[Talk-ca] Joining Trails to roads.

[G. Michael Carter]

As my previous e-mail I've been playing around with routing based on 
pedestrian and cycling.   I'd say, in my area, 1 in 20 trails are 
connected to the roads.   I checked the Toronto and Brampton area.  Same 
issue.

Trails that cross roads, need to have a connecting node.   Also they 
need to join up with a road.  Most trails don't join with the road but 
they need to for the routing to work.   Also my solution for trails that 
end at a parking lot.  I've been just pulling the trail around the 
perimeter of the parking lot till we get to the road.  (that way routing 
works)

Since I didn't know trails needed to be connected to roads, I thought 
I'd mention it.   Is there any way we can reach all the editors of the 
GTA area?  As they have a lot of trails falling in this category.
