[Talk-us-massachusetts] Help for newbie editing Brookline bicycle accommodations

[mitch heineman]

Thanks very much for the helpful responses. You've answered my questions and more. To clarify what I'm up to, I'm a volunteer for a citizen committee. I prepare a map annually showing bike accommodations http://brooklinebikes.org/MasterPlan.html and wanted to share the data so it can be picked up by resources such as cyclosm, which I wasn't familiar with (I use OsmAnd in my cycling travels).

Mitch,
There are several sites that display cycle infrastructure in more depth. Your data is showing on cyclosm.org<http://cyclosm.org>
Thanks for investigating OSM.
There was a recent discussion about safe cycling on the in a OSM diary entry at https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/MatthewBeyerle/diary/391093
If you read the comments to the diary post you'll get some insight into the problems of cycle mapping.

I'm working on behalf of the Brookline Bicycle Advisory Committee to edit bicycle lanes in town. I've made numerous edits to street features in town via iD in the Openstreetmap.org browser, but don't quite understand when or how they will show up in the cycling layer. As an example, the map shows Beacon Street at St. Paul Street with cycle lanes on both sides of the westbound travel lanes, whereas when I query the database, I can see that I edited it 10 days ago so that there's a right-hand cycle lane in the westbound road segment and a right-hand shared lane in the eastbound segment.

Any assistance or redirection to someone who can explain the process to me would be appreciated. I have many years of experience with ArcGIS and its antecedents, but am new to working with OpenStreetMap.

Thanks,
Mitch Heineman
Brookline
