[Talk-gb-westmidlands] OSM and tunnel closures

[Andrew Radford]

Andy,

Similarly to you, it's remembering to put it all back at the end of the process that concerns me. 

That said, the council is very keen to get out information about the tunnel closures and is promoting a range of alternatives to car use over the period. I'd also imagine that journey planners based on OSM would want to update to avoid the tunnels too.

My only involvement is to do with providing 15 extra temporary sets of cycle stands, but the rest of the info is here www.brumtunnels.co.uk

Closures start next Friday

Andy

See email below from Andy Radford at BCC. 

Personally my feelings is that changes can and should be made as long as those doing the edits remember to revert back at the end of the process. For the tunnels we have two choices, either show the tunnel as construction or just change some access tags.

Andy, I assume you can make the changes only you will know about. Shout if any assistance is needed.

Cheers
Andy

Andy,

What is the view on updating OSM when temporary things occur, like the tunnel closures? 

It's obviously possible to remove the link, and I've also got locations for
15 new sets of stands, perry barr uni is going to become a park and ride site etc, but I don't know whether it's something that is actually worth doing.
