Nathan,

3 months ago we discussed the existence of US Bicycle Route number tags in
the Midwest.  The OSM consensus was clear: only approved US Bicycle Routes
should be tagged in OSM.

Since those routes (21, 25, 50, 80, 84 and 35 in Indiana) have not been
approved by AASHTO it is incorrect to have them tagged in OpenStreetMaps.
There are proposed routes for 35 and 50 in Indiana and part of 50 in Ohio
but since those routes have not been approved by AASHTO the routes are
subject to change during the implementation process.  There are no specific
route proposals for 21, 25, 80, and 84.  Only 20 and 35 in Michigan have
been approved.

Please advise when you will remove these tags.
